An Chorr Double Stone Ringfort

Internal diam. c. 18m. A modern subcircular stone-walled enclosure has been built on the line of the internal wall of this double-walled cashel. The original outer and inner facings of the inner wall are evident in some places and suggests an original wall width of 1.8m to 2.2m. This incorporated suitable stretches of rock outcrop. From 8m to 15m down the slope of the knoll on which the site is located is an outer wall also much collapsed. It would appear to have been 1m to 1.3m in width originally and also incorporated an appropriate stretch of rock outcrop. The site is located on a limestone knoll surrounded by rocky pasture land to the N and E of the Gweebarra river. 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.'
