This circular earthwork monument, typical of Bronze Age burial practices, consists of a raised mound surrounded by a circular ditch and outer bank. Ring-barrows like this one were often used as burial sites for cremated remains, though they also served as territorial markers and ceremonial spaces for communities thousands of years ago.

The Drumconor ring-barrow forms part of a broader archaeological landscape in Donegal, where numerous prehistoric monuments dot the countryside. These sites offer glimpses into how our ancestors lived, died, and marked their presence on the land. As more information from the ASI archives becomes available online, sites like this one will help piece together the complex story of Ireland’s prehistoric communities and their enduring impact on the landscape we see today.
