What is recorded here

Internal diam. 22m. The SW half of an originally circular area enclosed by an earthen bank 1m high. The SW half had to be artificially raised on account of the steep slope. A wet area to the NE might indicate a silted-up fosse. It is situated in rough pasture high up on the side of the valley of the River Finn. 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
