What is recorded here

Figart holds a faded fairy fort where ploughs have cut a thirty-metre ring into a shallow ridge. It sits in cultivated land on the eastern hillside, facing north, south and east, as if watching several roads at once. The earth has been reduced to a thin line, but the shape still resists forgetting.

Internal diam. c. 30m. A subcircular area enclosed by a much ploughed-out earthen bank hardly surviving above 10 cms in height. It is situated in cultivated land on the E side of a hill with views to N, S and E. 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).
