Recorded monuments

• DG012-033001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 28m. A circular enclosure delimited by a stone-built wall complete on all but the N side, where a field boundary cuts across it. Beyond this wall, the arc of the bank continues to be barely visible. To the W is a possible outer wall, which turns S to meet a field wall. To the N of this is a possible entrance in the form of a single 'jambstone' and a gap. This outer wall does not occur elsewhere but a natural drop on the W side, would have precluded the need for it. The interior is flat, with a low sub-rectangular foundation (DG012-033002-), fairly centrally placed and orientated E-W. There is also a small circular enclosure (DG012-033003-) abutting the bank on the inside to the E. There is no great depth of soil, and much outcrop occurs. A tradition believes the site to be an ecclesiastical enclosure and the rectangular structure an oratory. It is situated on a small platform on the W side of N-S ridge. The ground is rough but partly grass-covered. 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).
