- DG094-017 Enclosure
Description
Internal Dimensions 25m x 16m. An irregularly-shaped area, enclosed by a series of set stones, is marked 'the ring' on the OS 6-inch maps. Within the enclosure is a low mound which is probably natural and a (probably modern) trench. The interior is very wet. Outside the N section of wall is a seat-like structure known as 'the Chair' formed from a number of stones. 18.7m NW of this site is a subcircular arrangement of loose stones 20.6m in diameter. Inside this there is a smaller scatter of stones in a loosely circular arrangement 4.04m in diameter. The whole site here is very overgrown. WNW of the ring is a triangular-shaped standing stone 1.04m high and 0.47m NW-SE. The whole complex, which also includes disused field boundaries and other scatters of stone, is situated on poor boggy hill 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).
