Description
Internal diam. 23m N-S, 17m E-W. Marked 'Old Pound Infants Burial Ground' on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps, the site consists of a subcircular area enclosed by a wall of large stone blocks surviving up to 1m in height and 1.5m wide. A 2.6m gap to the W may be the original opening as it lets onto a natural route through two small hills to the SW. The interior slopes S to N and more markedly W to E and is overgrown. Stones lying about may be grave markers. It is possible that the site is a re-used cashel. It is situated in an isolated area at the base of hilly terrain and W of a flat marshy area. 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.'
