Description
Internal diam. 20.5m. A subcircular area enclosed by an earthen bank except where it has been removed in the NE sector. There is no trace of a fosse but the surrounding swampy land could have obliterated one. There is a mound of earth and stone set internally against the bank in the N sector which is possibly modern. It is situated on low, marshy ground in the flood plain S of the Two mile river with land rising to the N and S. 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).
