Destroyed Garvegort Glebe Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Garvegort Glebe Fairy Fort vanished from fair pasture south of the Owentocker river before the last century ended. It was a ringfort, unclassified and unmarked, erased so completely that no stone or scar remained to argue against its loss. The land kept the shape of what it forgot, smooth under grass and silent under rain.

There is no trace of a 'Fort' destroyed here in the last century. It was located in fair pasture to the S of the Owentocker river. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
