The National Monuments Service's description
Killanin and Duignan (1962) have claimed that there is a prehistoric chamber tomb near Trabane Strand in this townland. It has not been possible to find it. The omission of any reference to this in the second edition of The Shell guide to Ireland (Killanin and Duignan 1967) suggests that by then the authors had reason to doubt its existence.
Killanin and Duignan 1962, 290.
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).
