What is recorded here
No trace of the single-ringed enclosure now survives above ground. It is not clear from conflicting local reports as to whether it was an earthen or stone enclosure. It was situated on a grassy hillock N of the Reelan River surrounded by marshy poor 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
