Enclosure in Leathchoill

Previous reports (Herity 1971,19 and F.F. 1978, No. 29) refer to a 'Fort' in this vicinity but no trace of it was found on this occasion. Local people point out a site nearby in the town land of Kinnakillew (Coords, 155 161) as a 'Fort' but there is no archaeological evidence to support this claim. The area is rough to fair pasture with a lot of rock outcrop. 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.'
