What is recorded here
Nothing at this site now survives to indicate the rough mound about 40ft in diameter, traditionally regarded as a fort (M. R. Colhoun). The site has been quarried for stone, possibly suggesting a cashel. It was situated on the edge of a cliff above the Black River in well cultivated land.
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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
