The National Monuments Service's description
According to Harkin (1893), there is 'an immense cromlech' on Cronamadda recte Croaghnamaddy, a hill c. 2.4km SW of Dunglow. This hill lies in the above townland and in the adjoining townlands of Loughsalt and Meendrain. A limited search of the hill revealed no trace of an artificial structure that may have merited the name 'Cromlech'. Many large erratics lie scattered on the hill, and one of these may have been incorrectly identified as a 'Cromlech'.
Harkin 1893, 69; P.J. McGill 1974, 58.
The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
