What is recorded here

A previous account (Boyle-Somerville 1909, 224-5) notes a 'prehistoric circle' on Ray Point. This survives as a low grass-covered mound, 10-11m in diameter, and composed of earth and stones. Its archaeological significance is uncertain. Situated on level pasture land c. 30m from the shore of Lough Swilly. 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
