Drumgorman Triple-Banked Fairy Fort

Internal diam. 27m. A circular area enclosed by an earthen bank and the remains of a fosse and outer bank particularly evident on the NE side but elsewhere much eroded or gone. The inner bank is up to .95m in height and the fosse is up to 3.7m wide and up to c. 1.3m in depth. The outer bank is up to 1.4m in height. A 3.3m gap in the inner bank to the NE coincides with a causeway across the fosse and a gap in the outer bank. A stone c. 0.6m long is set in the inner bank here and probably marks the entrance. The site is located in good pasture on a drumlin with restricted views. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
