What is recorded here

Internal diam. 27.9m. An overgrown subcircular area enclosed by a much destroyed earthen bank only surviving on the W, and only 10cms in height. There is also a silted-up fosse and an outer bank surviving in two short stretches to the E and W up to .8m in height. It is situated on a N-S ridge, Knocknarevoge, in cultivated land with good views. 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
