- DG099-003 Ringfort - rath
Description
An earthen platform enclosed by a low perimeter bank with evidence for a largely silted-up fosse on the outside. A 1.95m gap in the enclosing bank on the SE side is probably the original entrance. A modern field wall crosses the site. A circular depression on the SW side is likely to be the remains of a lime-kiln. The site is located on low-lying pasture land between two drumlins. The site has limited 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.'
