Dunmore Earthen Ringfort

Internal diam. 21m. An oval area enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank surviving up to .4m on the E side. The bank has been partially faced with stone to incorporate it into a stone wall field boundary on the E and N sides. The interior slopes from NE to SW reflecting the hill on which it was built. It is now very overgrown but situated in good land. 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).
