Mound in Srath Na Circe

Known locally as 'Cearc's Grave'. The site consists of a slightly irregular-shaped earthen mound. The mound is 44m SSW-NNE and 30m WNW-ESE at the base and 22m SSW-NNE and 19m WNW-ESE at the top. It is up to 4.75m in height. There is a hollow on the top of the mound said to have contained two stone slabs. The site is located on the valley floor of the Glen river in marshy pasture land. 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.'
