Baile na Bó Stone Ringfort / Old Graveyard Tradition

Internal diam. 21m × 14.5m. An oval enclosure set in a scarp in the hillside sur-rounded by a collapsed stone wall. The wall averages 3.5m in width. There are also a lot of stones in the surrounding field ditches. The site is densely over-grown. Local tradition claims that it was once used as a graveyard. It is situated in good land half-way up a slope which looks S over the Lagan Valley. 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.'
