The National Monuments Service's description
Baillie (1892, 292-4) reported the finding of two cists apparently 6 or 7 miles SW of the Grianan of Aileach and near the shores of Lough Swilly an 'urn' was found in each cist.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
