What is recorded here

Croagh Inland Promontory Fort occupies the southern tip of a narrow rocky ridge in County Donegal, where sheer drops on three sides replace the need for heavy walls. A small wide bank encloses an eighteen-metre circular space, while a deep narrow depression cuts toward a four-metre rock-cut hollow at the southwest end. The shape suggests people valued the cliff edge as much as the earthwork, perhaps watching the land below or keeping livestock safe from falling.

Described as a 'Small, circular, flattish area surrounded by a small, wide bank. At the SW end of interior is a narrow depression (deep) extending from the perimeter to circular slight rock-cut depression (4m in diam) - latter with remnants of a tiny earthen bank on S quadrant. Earthwork sited at S tip of narrow rocky ridge with a sheer drop on S,W &E. Diam (mid-bank) NE-SW = 18m, W-E = 14m'. (SMR File) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 19 July 2010
