This shell midden site, identified by local amateur archaeologists Eddie Harkin and Tommy Gallagher, represents the remnants of prehistoric coastal life. The site consists of two distinct deposits of shells and other organic material, positioned where a newly excavated garden meets the road below a house.

The first midden stretch extends approximately 6 metres along the northwest end, varying in thickness from 15 centimetres at the northeast to 45 centimetres at the southwest, where an electricity pole now stands. About 10 metres southeast, a second, more disturbed spread measures 6.6 metres in length. Both deposits contain a mix of oyster, mussel, and periwinkle shells embedded in burnt soil, with the first midden also yielding small fragments of burnt bone; evidence of ancient meals and food processing activities.

These shell middens serve as valuable archaeological records, essentially ancient rubbish heaps that reveal what coastal communities ate and how they lived thousands of years ago. The presence of burnt soil and bone fragments suggests cooking activities took place here, whilst the variety of shellfish indicates the inhabitants made good use of the nearby coastal resources. The site was formally documented by P. O’Donovan from the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government during a visit in December 2006, ensuring this modest but significant piece of Donegal’s prehistory is preserved in the archaeological record.
