What is recorded here

Internal diam. c. 30m. A circular space enclosed by an earthen bank overgrown in places and with several (probably modern) gaps in it. Externally the bank is quite steep but it has slipped a lot internally. It is situated on the W shoulder of a ridge on the S side of the valley of the River Eske. The land in the immediate vicinity is good but further away is wet and boggy. 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
