An Drungán Stone Ringfort

Internal diam. c. 12m. A subcircular area now enclosed by the remains of a collapsed stone wall. The inner and outer facing stones are visible at some points and indicate an original wall thickness of 1.9m. The wall is composed of large outer stones with a small-stone core filling. The wall survives to a height of c. 0.3m. It is situated on top of a knoll known as An Drungán, the N side being on the cliff edge, in poor pasture on the N flank of Glencolumbkille valley.
