What is recorded here

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP BGH 31) as cropmark of fosse enclosing circular area (est max. diam. c. 35m). Ring-ditch or ring-barrow. Faint cropmark of second site (CW016-103----) to SW. No visible surface traces. O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 93) mentions: 'I could find no remarkable moat or fort in Donore, from which the name might be said to have been taken. Several raheens in it were levelled.' This reference probably includes some of the Donore sites.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
