What is recorded here

Internal Diam c. 14m. A flat, grass-covered raised area .3m above the surrounding land. It is cut on the N side by a field boundary which gives it a D-shaped plan. It was probably originally circular. It is known locally as a 'Calvary' or 'Burial Ground'. It is situated on level, marshy ground E of a stream and overlooked by steeply rising ground to the N. 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
