Recorded monuments

• DG060-011 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 25m. A subcircular area defined on the N and E sides by a steep drop to a stream and on the W and S by a collapsed stone wall. A gap to the S could be an entrance. It is unusually located on an outcrop of rock at a bend in the stream and is dominated by a ringfort (DG069-029) at the top of a hill to the SW. 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

• DG061-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 17.5m. An almost circular platform surrounded by a single earthen bank up to 1.25m high. There is a slight step externally at the level of the interior. A small section of the bank along the SE arc is absent. This coincides with the position of an earthen ramp which rises to the platform level and may indicate an entrance feature. A trench in the interior is of recent origin. The 'fort' is situated on the end of a bluff in good 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.' 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).
