What is recorded here

Donore’s buried ring holds a tilted granite box, perhaps a church, waiting beneath the Carlow soil. The ditch and bank still mark the edge of that forgotten chamber, where prayer or gathering once echoed before darkness took the roof.

When inspected in 1987 by ASI, remains consisted of irregular but possibly originally circular platform (47.7m E-W, 54m NNE-SSW) enclosed by fosse with external bank, best preserved at W (D of fosse 1m below ext. bank; Wth 6m; ext. H of bank 1.3m; Wth c. 7m). Causeway at NNW. Foundations of rectangular granite structure (dims. c 11m x 5m) off-centre of enclosure, orientated ESE-WNW with possible entrance at W may be remains of a church (CW016-069001-).
