Recorded monuments

• DG060-001 Mound
  Description

  Probably an artificial mound although some rock outcrop is evident on the sides. It has a flat top 4m in diameter but it is believed that there was formerly a depression here which was filled in some time ago. The S side is very steep due to the slope of the hill. On the N side is a fosse-like depression. A low earth/stone bank runs perpendicularly across this to the mound. Outside the fosse is a low outer scarp or bank with an inner stone facing. 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).
