What is recorded here

A much-ruined arc of a cashel wall, measuring c. 25m survives on the E. The wall was built of large blocks contiguously placed on the inner and outer edge and was about 1.2m wide. A modern stone field wall crosses the cashel wall running N-S, either side of which there is a small gap. There is another gap, due to disturbance, close to the S end of the surviving arc. A heap of stones further to the S seems to be on the line of the cashel wall. The site is on a rise from which there are excellent views and good grazing. 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
