What is recorded here

No wall or ditch remains on the rocky cashel at An Charraig, though a map once drew a ring around it. The land has become ordinary pasture, erasing the boundary that marked the place as special. Forgetting is not the same as loss. It is the field taking back what it lent.

There is no trace of the single-ringed enclosure shown on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was situated on a rocky platform c. 25m in diameter known locally as 'cashel'. The area consists of light-soiled tillage and pasture with some rock outcrop. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
