What is recorded here

No trace of the single-ringed enclosure shown on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map survives. The topography on the crest of a NE-SW ridge in rough grazing with good soil cover suggests an earthen enclosure. 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG093-007
