Internal diam. c. 20m. This heavily overgrown site seems to consist of a stone-built subcircular enclosure with a possible entrance in the SE. It is situated amid the ruins of old buildings, gardens and small fields on a small plateau on the E slope of Grocknageeha Hill.
Pre-development testing was carried out by Caitríona Gleeson under licence No. 07E0946 of a site at Falduff, Carndonagh, Co. Donegal. The proposed development comprises the erection of a farmyard shed and all associated works. The proposed development is located c. 50m south of DG011–058----, a cashel. Four trenches of varying lengths were excavated across the footprint of proposed construction. No evidence for archaeological material or cultural layers pre-dating the 20th century was observed in any area of the proposed development site (Bennett 2010, 78).
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.
