- DG019-026 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. There are no visible remains of this 'Fort'. Judging by the terrain it seems likely that it would have been a cashel rather than a earthen monument. It was situated on rock outcrop, between two cultivated fields, and there are scatters of loose rock and stones lying about. 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
