What is recorded here

Internal diam. 26.8m. A subcircular area, defined by a partially collapsed stone wall about .75m wide. The wall is composed of stone facings with a rubble fill and is not more than .5m high. There are no clearly defined entrance or internal features but there are small subcircular structures either incorporated into the wall collapse on the outside, or free-standing beyond the wall. It is situated in rough mountain terrain, on a ridge running E-W in a commanding position on all but the NE sides. 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
