Finner Large Earthen Ringfort

Internal diam. 60m. A large circular space enclosed by an earthen bank, 1m to 2m in height and best preserved in the E section, a fosse and a very worn outer bank. It is situated on the shoulder of a low E-W ridge and commands fine views of the surrounding, good land. Oliver Davies reported traces of a field system, older than the present one, close to this site. 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).
