What is recorded here
Internal diam. c. 15m. A subcircular area now enclosed by a modern wall apparently built on the line of a collapsed cashel wall parts of which can still be seen. The site is located on a height in fairly good land. An old roadway 2.35m wide bounded on each side by an earthen bank and fosse is evident just NNE of the cashel. It stretches NE to near Dunkineely village.
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).
