Recorded monuments

• DG078-003 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 12.5m N-S, 17m E-W. A massive fortification consisting of an oval area enclosed by an inner earthen bank up to 1m high. Below this is a terrace and below this again a fosse and second outer bank. The inner bank has gone on the SE sector and the outer bank in the S sector. The outer bank is revetted by a stone wall on the N side which is probably modern. There is an entrance consisting of breaks in the banks and a causeway across the fosse at the E side where the approaching slope is more gradual. Rock outcrop breaks through in several places particularly along the middle terrace. It is situated on the summit of a hill commanding the neighbouring area of excellent farming land. 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.'
