What is recorded here

A subrectangular raised area apparently formerly enclosed by a much worn earthen bank, which survives only on the E side. The W side has been converted into a field boundary and a small rectangular earthen feature abuts onto this, but is probably modern. For the most part, the monument survives as an enscarpment of the hill on which it is sited. It is much overgrown and located in good land close to the coast. 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
