Dunmurney Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Magic is real. Shadows are not empty. The chamber is a camera and a weapon. This is a fact in this world, not a metaphor. A human building is visible in the picture. The chamber is inside that building. This is a place where the hidden layer becomes a user. That is all.

Platform Diam. 21.4m N-S, 23.1m E-W. Known locally as Dunmurney. A cliff edge bounds this site on the northerly side. An earthen platform up to 1.2m in height lies S of the cliff edge. An earthen bank surrounds the platform on all sides except the N at a distance from 6m to 10m. On the NW and NE this bank runs to the cliff edge. The bank varies from .2m to .4m in height and in width from 2.3m to 4.7m. There is some evidence for a possible fosse on the S side of the site outside the bank. The site is located on a prominent rise in undulating terrain of poor to fair pasture land. It overlooks an old roadway from Killybegs to Bavan to the N.

Dunmurney Fairy Fort is a circular earthen ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, situated on a cliff edge with a surrounding bank and a platform up to 1.2m high. Locally known as a fairy fort, such sites were traditionally believed to be the dwellings of the "good people" in Irish folklore.
