What is recorded here

An oval earthen ringfort in An Srath Greadaithe, County Donegal, spans forty-eight metres north to south and thirty-four metres east to west on the eastern slope of a wet hill. Its disturbed bank still casts a shadow across the grass, though modern drainage has cut gaps through the ancient line. The fort faces east, north and south, inviting whoever entered to watch the sky change rather than hide from it.

Internal diam. 48m N-S, 34m E-W. An oval-shaped area enclosed by a much disturbed earthen bank with slight traces of an external fosse. There are many modern gaps in the bank cut for drainage purposes. The site is located on the E slope of a wet hill with good views to E, N and S. 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.'
