What is recorded here
Very little survives to indicate the single-ringed, 'Fort' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. A portion of an earthen bank and fosse may be original but the site has been built on. It was situated on good 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
