What is recorded here

Internal diam. c. 30m. An earthen platform roughly 3m in height enclosed by a bank up to 2m in height with evidence for an external fosse. A stream which divides into two branches encircles the site. The site is located in good pasture land on top of a NNW-SSE ridge. There is rough, bog-covered grazing land to the N and W of the ridge. 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
