Breen Double-Banked Fairy Fort

Internal diam. c. 18m. A much destroyed monument probably originally a double-banked ringfort. An arc (22m) of an earthen bank survives up to 1.25m in height on the W side. A possible outer bank and fosse may be discerned on this side also. The surviving remains suggest an internal diameter of roughly 18m. Situated on top of a grass-covered hill with good views on all sides. 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.'
