What is recorded here

Shown as a single-ringed enclosure on the 2nd edition, and as a more or less circular field on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map. The area 20m to 22m across is enclosed by a modern, stone field wall and there is no trace of any archaeological feature. It is located in an area of rough pasture on sloping ground, overlooking a stream a short distance to S. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
