What is recorded here

An almost circular area (DG074-007001-) enclosed by an earthen bank up to 3m in height. A 3.7m gap on the W is a likely entrance. There is also a fosse and external bank. There is a local tradition for a 'cave' in the interior but no trace of this can be seen. The site is located on a NNW-SSE ridge in land currently under reclamation. 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
