What is recorded here

A subcircular area enclosed by an earthen bank surviving up to 1.5m in height with possible traces of a fosse on the SW side. A stream runs across the N half breaking through the bank on the W and entering a drain through a gap in the bank to the E. There are several other gaps in the bank. There is some possible stone facing visible on the exterior of the bank at the N. The interior slopes from W to E and there is a scatter of boulders internally which form no coherent pattern. The monument is much overgrown. It is situated on the E slope of Dooish mountain. 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
