What is recorded here

Internal diam. 15m. A platform enclosed by an earthen bank which contains a lot of stone. This has been rebuilt on the SW or river side. A fosse 1.5m wide surrounds the site except on the river side and a causeway crosses this at the W to a 1.5m gap in the bank. It is situated on excellent land in the flood plain near where the rivers Finn and Reelin join. 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
