What is recorded here

Donaghstown holds an enclosure eighty metres long, narrow enough to force a decision about the shape of the world. A road cut through it, then left the mark behind. The land keeps the old line while people keep moving around it.

Visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP ATA 29, BDU 42, 1967) as a long, narrow, slightly raised rectangular area (est. dims. L c. 80m NW-SE; Wth c. 20m NE-SW) with a rounded western end, truncated N-S to W of centre by a later road, subsequently disused and replaced by a realigned road to the W. The ground surface is uneven in this area, but the site limits are not readily discernable. A possible ringfort (KD010-005----) site lies c. 70m to the SE.
