What is recorded here

A subcircular area (DG015-014001-) enclosed by a ruined stone wall. It is adjoined on the S by a smaller subcircular space c. 10m in diameter also surrounded by a ruined stone wall. The wall seems to have been originally 1.4m in width. There is a 5m square foundation in the interior of the main enclosure, defined by a grass-covered disturbed wall. The site is located at the base of a rock-strewn hill to its N, in rough pasture, with better land on the lower levels towards Sheephaven Bay. 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
