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

- DG026-025: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG026-025----. The three editions of the OS 6-inch maps record 'Doonan Fort' here and O. Davies recorded a 'children's burial ground' at the same site. There is no trace of the 'Fort'. Two very ruined walls, both about 10m long, and at right angles, form a S and W side of what may have been a small enclosure. A face of rock on the N side may have served as a third side. The site is a mound of rock, uneven on top and much overgrown by trees and bushes set in undulating land suitable for grazing. A 'Fort' here would almost certainly have been stone built. 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

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
