- DG107-016001 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Internal diam. c. 32m. 'Dunacludean'. A subcircular area formerly enclosed by a collapsed stone wall now only surviving in parts. A section of a second wall can be detected in the SW sector. A field fence skirts and trims the monument on the NE. A gap through the S could be an entrance but it would be impossible to say with certainty. A souterrain (DG107-106002-) is open in three places within the cashel. None of these appear to be the original entrance. A stone-built main passage runs E-W and opens into a large chamber slightly W of the cashel centre. Shorter subsidiary passages seem to run off to E and W at a point where the floor is 1.5m below ground level. NE and SW of the souterrain are two circular 'hut' foundations (DG107-016003-). In the E section lies a large stone with a circular depression. W of the cashel are the possible remains of an old field system. It is situated on elevated ground overlooking the Erne Estuary and Donegal Bay. 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.'

- DG107-017 Enclosure
Description
No trace of the 'Park Fort' of the OS 6-inch maps now survives. Previous reports indicate that its internal diameter was about 50ft. It was situated in good rolling farmland. (O. Davies). 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 Excavation Number : 96E289 Trial-trenching was carried out at the site of this development on 6 September 1996 in compliance with planning conditions set out by Donegal County Council. The development consisted of the construction of a private dwelling, driveway, septic rank and percolation area, located in Creevy townland, 2.5 miles north-west of the town of Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal. The site was located adjacent to an enclosure, marked on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map as 'Park Fort'. Located in a field of rough grazing with good views of the Atlantic Ocean, this enclosure had been levelled in the past, its outline now barely visible. The private dwelling was to be located 10m north-east of the site of the enclosure. That area of the development closest to the site was trenched using a JCB. The trench was excavated in three sections, totalling 47m in length, 0.9-lm in width and 0.6-lm in depth. The stratigraphy encountered consisted of topsoil, underlying disturbed subsoil, a rubbish fill and natural subsoil. The only archaeological evidence consisted of a small lens of burnt soil and charcoal, located 2m along the third section of the trench, within the subsoil. It measured 0.3m in length, 0.3m in width and less than 0.lm in thickness. Also recovered from the subsoil was a stray find of black-ware.

- DG107-018001 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Internal diam. 16m. An area of rock outcrop is enclosed by the remains of a stone wall surviving on the E and S to a height of .5m. It is probable that there was an external wall but evidence for this is slight and present only on the E side. There has been much robbing and collapse is scattered all over the site. The entrance to a stone-lined souterrain (DG107-018002-) survives in the W quadrant. The main passage seems to run E-W with two other passages running N-S. The cashel is situated on elevated ground overlooking Donegal Bay to the W and Erne Estuary to the 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.'
