What is recorded here
The single-ringed 'fort' shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps now consists of a flat-topped earthen platform subcircular in plan c. 26m NW-SE and 20m NE-SW where it has been partially levelled. It is raised from 1m to 2m above the surrounding land. Modern stone walls run along the edge on the S and W. The site is located on flat ground at the top of a steep W facing slope in good pasture.
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.
