What is recorded here

Marked 'Caldragh' on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps, the site consists of a rectangular area 26.3m NE-SW and 11.6m NW-SE enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. At the N corner is a subcircular foundation of a single course of large stones c. 3.4m in diameter. Other stones are randomly strewn about, and the ground is rough with rock outcrop. It is situated on the E bank of the Black River. 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
