What is recorded here

You can still see the ring in Glasly, a shallow drum of earth twenty-seven metres across, set in good pasture above the River Deele. The bank has gaps but no clear door, as if the fort forgot whether it wanted to keep people out or invite them in. That uncertainty is what makes it lively: a residence, a boundary marker, a child's made-up castle, or a room the land built for itself.

Internal diam. 27m. A subcircular platform raised 1m to 2m above the surrounding field, enclosed by an earthen bank containing some stone, surviving up to .75m in height. There are several gaps in the bank but no definite entrance. It is situated in excellent pasture sloping S to the River Deele. 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.'
