Man-made underground passage in Gortiness

A circular platform (DG068-02001-) 1m above the field surrounded by a much damaged earthen bank. The interior is overgrown but apparently level. 8m NE is a rock-surrounded hollow possibly evidence of a Man-made underground passage. It is situated in very good land near the edge of a sheer 30m drop to the River Finn with wide views. 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.'
