Drumnagroagh Woodland Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mortals may have built the fort, but the fairies took it over and erased every human claim. They widened the fosse, deepened the bank and struck out every name that could be spoken. What remains is a smooth oval of excluded ground where memory itself stops working. The wood does not hide the fort, it completes the warning.

Internal diam. 41.4m. An oval space enclosed by a substantial earthen bank, a fosse 5m wide, and surviving on the S side only, an outer bank and fosse. It is located within a wood and is completely overgrown. It is situated on rising ground S of the River Erne. 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.'
