What is recorded here

Internal diam. 20m. A circular area enclosed by an earthen bank formed from scarping the hillside. This gives the otherwise low bank a steep appearance. A modern fence divides the site. It is situated on the crest of a steep hill with good views. The land on the hill is good but the valleys around it are wet and marshy. 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
