Ballysaggart Coastal Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mortals may have built the ring, but the fairies inherited it. They swept in through the northeast gap during storms, dragging marrow and memory into their hollow halls. The land remembers their footsteps more clearly than human history.

Internal diam. 27m. An almost circular platform, up to 1.7m above the surrounding ground. A modern field boundary has been constructed along the E side. There are faint traces of a perimeter bank around the edge. There is a 2.7m gap to the NE. The site is located directly above the coast to the SE in fairly good pasture land. 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).
