What is recorded here

Enclosure in Clonca is a vanished stone circle in County Donegal, Ireland. Local people still point to Lisdergain farm as the spot where a fort once stood, yet no trace remains for a visitor to touch. The earth has swallowed the boundary, leaving only memory and a name that fit the shape it lost.

M. R. Colhoun recorded a local tradition of a 'fort' at a farm here appropriately named Lisdergain. A rough circle of stones about 63ft in diameter was noticed near the spot pointed out by the local people. No trace of the site could be seen on this occasion. 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).
