Derrora Stone Ringfort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Internal diam. 22.5m N-S, 17.5m E-W. An oval area enclosed by a low wall/bank surviving to a height of .75m on the E, with only a bare outline visible on the W. The wall is formed of small stones and turf, and exploits sections of rock outcrop. Pos-sible traces of a circular foundation with a possible entrance to the NW, c. 2m in diameter, can be seen adjoining the wall on the N side. At the base of the mound on which the site stands is a small chamber-like structure formed of stones. This is partially encroached upon by the turf. The site is located on a mound of rock outcrop in bogland. 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).
