What is recorded here

Clonmore Stone Ringfort is a vanished cashel in County Donegal, Ireland. Its stones are gone, leaving only a low mound and one stray slab in rocky ground. The fort may have stood for centuries before people removed its walls, but the mound still marks the place where a circular home or fortress once faced the open sky.
Diam. c. 25m. The circular enclosure shown on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map, no longer survives. Now only an uneven mound c. 1.5m high indicates the site. It is probable that this was the location of a cashel. A large slab occurs near the NE perimeter. Situated in rocky land with good 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.' 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
