What is recorded here

The 'Cashel' (DG035-012001-) marked here on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps has been largely destroyed. Part of the T-shaped souterrain (Kinahan 1889, 280) is visible. It is now c. 1.8m wide, c. 0.6m high and is open for a stretch c. 1.9m long. The walls and roof are formed from large slabs. The site, a partly artificial platform, is located on a slope in good pasture. 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
