What is recorded here

Goland holds a broken cashel where a straight field wall cut through a circular home. The SW side still grows richer, remembering the shape that the NE boundary once followed. People may have lived there before marsh and river claimed the stones, but the field wall erased the door and the circle became a story told by grass.

Internal diam. c. 20m. A field boundary running NW-SE bisects an original circular area reflected in richer growth on the SW side and by a curving field boundary on the NE side. These boundaries are stone walls and the curving one seems to rest on an earlier stone foundation. It is situated on marshy rocky ground S of the Burn river and would seem to be the remains of a cashel. 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.'
