What is recorded here
Only the small portion of a S arc of stones remains of the subcircular single-ringed enclosure shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is possible that these stones represent an inner and outer facing for a rubble or small stone core. It is situated on the lower E slope of Kinnagoe Hill in rough rocky terrain.
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.
