What is recorded here

Internal diam. 28.5m. A circular area enclosed by an earthen bank. The builders seem to have raised the E side of the site to compensate for the hill-slope. The bank is more substantial on the E side also. A gap to the NE may indicate the entrance. The site is located on the shoulder of a hill where it falls away steeply to the E. The site is very close to (DG100-007-). 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
