• DG068-008 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 37m. A circular area enclosed by a largely surviving stone wall. Possibly original built sections occur along the N and E sector and on the W side of the 3m wide gap to the N which is probably the entrance. The interior is almost level except for three low rock outcrops. It is situated in good pasture with excellent views. 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).

• DG068-013 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 29m. A subcircular space enclosed by an earthen bank up to 2m high, a fosse from 1.5m to 3m wide and a destroyed outer bank for the most part incorporated in a modern field boundary. The three enclosing features are all missing on the E side. A gap 1.5m to the W was probably the original entrance. A 2m square depression on the interior to the NW might indicate a souterrain. The rest of the interior is level but wet. There is bog to the E and rough pasture elsewhere. 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.'

• DG068-015 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 15m. A platform enclosed by an earthen bank which contains a lot of stone. This has been rebuilt on the SW or river side.

It is situated on excellent land in the flood plain near where the rivers Finn and Reelin join. 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.'
