What is recorded here

Internal diam. 19.6m E-W, 23m NNW-SSE. A subcircular area enclosed by a ring of small stones, the remains of a collapsed and robbed stone wall. The site exploits a small rock cliff on the N side. A modern wall is built on the cashel collapse on the NW side. The original width of the wall was c. 3.25m. A low subcircular rise of stone c. 5.6m in diameter and 0.5m in height abuts the inner edge of the wall collapse on SSW side. Just beside and also abutting the wall is a second subcircular rise of stones, 3.7m × 3.2m and 0.4m in height. These may possibly indicate structures. The site is situated on a slight prominence in undulating pasture sloping NW to the sea. 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
