Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Admiran — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Admiran holds a forgotten ringfort where a thin earthen bank still circles a space wide enough for a dozen people to walk beside one another. It sits on a slight ridge above the field, facing out across good land and distant views. People may have lived there, watched weather coming, or kept animals close during stormy months. The fairy name suggests they also believed the place belonged to something older and less reasonable.

Internal diam. c. 25m-30m. Vaguely perceptible traces of a single-banked earthen enclosure situated on a slight platform, 1.5m above the field on the W side. It was situated on the N end of a ridge of good land with extensive views. 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.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
