A MAN has appeared in court in Donegal charged in connection with an alleged assault and endangerment in the county over the weekend.

Gardai were called to the Grianán of Aileach site in Inishowen at around 10pm on Sunday, March 31.

They had received reports of a disturbance at the ancient monument which is situated on a hilltop 250m above sea level.

A woman in her 30s was taken to Letterkenny University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A man in his 30s, who was arrested on the night, appeared before a special sitting of Letterkenny District Court yesterday afternoon.

Gardai have appealed for witnesses to the alleged incident to come forward.
