Castlebane Stone Ringfort

Dimensions 28m NE-SW, 37m NW-SE. A subrectangular area enclosed on all but its NE side by a grass-grown, collapsed stone wall up to 7m in width and 0.5m in height. A light scatter of stones and a modern field wall to the NE may be the remains of the enclosing element here. There are a number of gaps in the wall but it is not clear which if any of them might have been the entrance. It is located at the top edge of a steep NE facing slope. 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).
