Drumgowan Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Drumgowan is a small circular platform on the eastern edge of a steep ridge in County Donegal, where a low earthen bank still marks the edge of a forgotten room. The ridge stands above marshy valleys, giving the fort a commanding view while the land below remains damp and uncertain. A modern field fence cuts through the site now, dividing what may have been a whole place into two forgotten halves.

Internal diam. 20m. A small circular platform formed by scarping the hillside to produce the surrounding low earthen bank. It is divided by a modern field fence and is very overgrown. It is situated on the E edge of a steepsided E-W ridge in good land surrounded by marshy valleys. 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.'
