What is recorded here
Internal diam. 27m. A circular space enclosed by an earthen bank. The bank was created by scarping the surrounding hillside and gives the interior a raised appearance. The interior is divided by a field fence and the whole site is overgrown with bushes. It is situated on the eastern shoulder of a ridge of good land raised above wet boggy valleys.
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.
