What is recorded here

Internal diam. c. 22m. Originally marked as a 'Fort' (DG020-008001-), and subsequently as a 'Children's Burial Ground' on the OS 6-inch maps. The remains are overgrown and have been eroded by ploughing, so that the stone-built enclosing wall survives only on the E side, to a maximum height of 1.5m. There is a possible entrance on the W side and stones in the interior may mark burials. It is situated in a cultivated field, which slopes towards the E to the Glentogher 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
