Enclosure in Croagh (corkermore Ed) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Enclosure in Croagh is a vanished stone ring on a low Donegal hill, mapping memory more than surviving fact. It faces Doo Lough through rough pasture, where sheep still move across the place people once bounded. Whatever wall stood there has given up most of its shape, leaving only a name, a slope and the chance that stones still hide beneath the grass.

Shown as a single-ringed 'Fort' on the OS 6-inch maps, no definite traces of this monument survives. Some walling may have formed part of the NW section of the site but this is not certain. The site is located on the summit of a low hill overlooking Doo Lough to the NNE in an area of rough pasture: Any enclosure in this immediate area would definitely have been stone-built. 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.'
