Recorded monuments

• DG082-006 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Marked as a single-ringed 'Fort' on the OS 6-inch maps the site now consists of a subcircular platform 33.5m in diameter, from .5m to 3.3m above the surrounding land. Stones are incorporated into the edges of the platform but probably most of them have beep robbed to build the adjacent field walls. The site is located on a small hill at the base of the E side of the N-S valley of the River Aighe, on the margin between good and rough land. 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).
