What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide inside ordinary soil, yet this one stands exposed on a steep Donegal hillside. Its surviving bank and wide fosse face south and west, framing a broad view across rough pasture. People may have built the ring for trade, ritual or residence, but the land still treats it like a chamber waiting to be heard.

Only an arc of the earthen bank, 1.75m high, survives on the S side of this monument. Outside this is a fosse 2m wide. The W end of the site seems to have been artificially raised. It is situated in rough pasture on a steep hillside with extensive views to S and W. 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).
