An Fhothair Stone Ringfort near Sessiagh Lough — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No visible door, no broken stones, no human shape at all. The circle is complete on three sides and open toward the good grazing south. Whatever lived there stopped building walls people could judge. It still refuses to explain itself, which is more honest than most monuments that pretend to remember.

A grassed-over, collapsed stone wall encloses a sub-circular area except on the S side. The interior is level. It is situated on a rock spur close to the E shore of Sessiagh Lough. To the N there is marshy rocky land, to the S higher ground with good grazing. 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.'
