- DG016-014: Promontory fort - coastal, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG016-014----. 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

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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

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.
