What is recorded here

Internal diam. 33m. A circular area enclosed by a low earthen bank and with traces of an external fosse. Previous reports indicate that a 6ft wide entrance-gap existed on the W side opposite a causeway 9ft wide. The interior is divided by a modern field fence. It is situated on the summit of a drumlin overlooking the River Erne and seems to be part of a complex involving DG107-071 and DG107-072. 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
