## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- DG065-007: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG065-007----. Internal diam. c. 18m. A modern subcircular stone-walled enclosure has been built on the line of the internal wall of this double-walled cashel. The original outer and inner facings of the inner wall are evident in some places and suggests an original wall width of 1.8m to 2.2m. This incorporated suitable stretches of rock outcrop. From 8m to 15m down the slope of the knoll on which the site is located is an outer wall also much collapsed. It would appear to have been 1m to 1.3m in width originally and also incorporated an appropriate stretch of rock outcrop. The site is located on a limestone knoll surrounded by rocky pasture land to the N and E of the Gweebarra river. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
