What is recorded here

Internal diam. 23.3m. A subcircular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall up to 1.5m in height and spreading in some places over 8m in width. The wall has disappeared along the SW sector but its outline can still be traced. Evidence for a fosse can be detected on the W side. There is a gap 2m wide to ESE and another to the NW. The interior is uneven. It is situated on the ridge of a rocky plateau surrounded by rough pasture and some steep drops. 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
