Description
Depicted on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map as 'Dunduneen Head' but marked 'Dundonnell Head' (DG016-014001-) on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map. Two inlets have eroded the rock to form a promontory connected to the land side by a 5m wide isthmus. On the sea side of the isthmus is a largely destroyed internal bank, a fosse and a low partially destroyed outer bank. The area enclosed measures 100m E-W and 90m N-S. A modern field boundary runs W of and parallel to the defenses. The site is overlooked by higher ground along the coast to the N and inland to the NW. It is situated in an area of light-soiled land with much rock outcrop. 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/revision: 18 November 2010

Description
A collapsed stone wall surviving from the ENE sec-tion through to the SW section is all that survives of 'Cashelnagalliagh' marked on the 2nd and 3rd edi-tions of the OS 6-inch maps. A modern wall is built on top of the original, the outer face of which is visible in some places. Other modern field boundaries cross the site. It is situated on a slight rise in undulating land consisting of rock outcrop and pasture. 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).
