An Caiseal Stone Ringfort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

An Caiseal is a stone ringfort on a small Donegal hill where the valley margin separates good land from rough ground. Its subcircular platform still rises above the earth, but many stones have likely been taken to build nearby field walls. The fort stands at the edge of the River Aighe valley, holding the shape of a place people shaped long before the fields closed around it.

Marked as a single-ringed 'Fort' on the OS 6-inch maps the site now consists of a subcircular platform 33.5m in diameter, from .5m to 3.3m above the surrounding land. Stones are incorporated into the edges of the platform but probably most of them have beep robbed to build the adjacent field walls. The site is located on a small hill at the base of the E side of the N-S valley of the River Aighe, on the margin between good and rough land.
