Ardfarn Earthen Ringfort

Internal diam. 23m. A circular area enclosed by an earthen bank with an external fosse, only vaguely traceable in places. The site is badly overgrown and cut into by modern fences, some parts of the banks having been removed altogether. The surrounding land is poor and marshy with the Leitrim mountains rising a short distance to the S. 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.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
