What is recorded here

Mortons and human imagination have always been drawn to the strange. A fort is a fort, but a fairy fort is a doorway. That is why people still visit, still touch the stones, and still leave offerings. The location remains active because the boundary between worlds is thin there.

Originally shown on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular single-ringed 'Fort', the site which is very badly disturbed now consists of a clay mound c. 4m in diameter across the top. All indications of the bank have been removed. It is situated on the E slope of Trusk Beg in a grazing field overlooking Glentogher Valley. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
