Bunnaton Stone Ringfort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Only a short arc of a circular stone wall survives here to the N of a modern field boundary. The wall which is grass-grown is .4m in height, and from 3m to 4m wide. Remains of facing can be seen on the interior. The interior is slightly lower than the ground outside. The diameter (presuming an originally circular enclo-sure) was probably c. 15m. It is located on level grazing land overlooking Lough Swilly closeby to the E. 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).
