What is recorded here

Largest Dimension 55m. 'Castleduff' consists of a subrectangular area surrounded by a collapsed stone wall. The wall follows the edge of a rock outcrop on which it is situated, exploiting the fall-away in lieu of a fosse. There is a possible entrance to the S and outside the SW a large freestanding slab of rock 1.25m high. It is a prominent site with wide 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
