Ballymagan Fairy Fort

Internal diam. 30m. A subcircular area enclosed by a 1.5m high bank of clay and small stones, most of which, except for the SE quadrant, has survived. There is possible evidence for a fosse on the SW quadrant. The situation on the N-S ridge gives the false impression of the area having been artificially raised. It overlooks excellent land and the Crana river to the W. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
