What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Creevy, County Donegal: a 15.5m earthen ring on rough grazing north of the River Erne, its west gap perhaps the entrance and faint foundation marks suggesting small structures inside. People may have lived there, herded there, or simply avoided the rough uneven ground after dark. The earth still holds the shape of a choice made long before paperwork.

Internal diam. 15.5m. A subcircular space enclosed by a bank of earth and stone. The bank survives to a height of .5m in the N sector but is slightly higher in the S. A gap in the W may be the original entrance. There are very slight traces of a silted-up fosse particularly on the S side. The interior is very rough and uneven. Traces of foundations in the W sector could be remains of structures. It is situated on rough-grazing land N of the River Erne. 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.'
