Recorded monuments

• DG077-012 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  There is no sign of the single-ringed 'Fort' shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. It was situated on the S bank of the Burn Daurnett in good 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.' 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

• DG077-013 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 20m. A field boundary running NW-SE bisects an original circular area reflected in richer growth on the SW side and by a curving field boundary on the NE side. These boundaries are stone walls and the curving one seems to rest on an earlier stone foundation. It is situated on marshy rocky ground S of the Burn river and would seem to be the remains of a cashel. 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

• DG077-014 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  There is no trace of the single-ringed enclosure shown on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The local topography would suggest a cashel rather than an earthen enclosure. 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

• DG077-015 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 18m. A D-shaped site, due to modern encroachment on its N side. It comprises of a stone wall surviving up to .5m high. There are gaps in the N, E and S sectors. Two rectangular structures outside the NE sector are probably modern. It is situated in rocky grazing land on the N slope of a hill. 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).
