Camlin Fairy Fort

Internal diam. 35m. A subcircular area enclosed by a substantial earthen bank, a deep fosse and a small outer bank. There is a gap in the inner bank on the E side which may have been an entrance but could be modern.

It is situated on the crest of a low hill overlooking the River Erne in good land. (DG107-072) The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
