What is recorded here

Internal Diam 15.3m. A subcircular area enclosed for the most part by a collapsed stone wall except on the NE where a curving field boundary wall probably reflects the original limits of the enclosure. On the NW side traces of facing stones suggest a wall width of 1.5m. The wall collapse is evident only as a grassed-over rise .2m in height. The site is located in fair pasture but the interior has been planted with conifers. 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
