What is recorded here

Half a century of forgotten life still warms the shallow chamber where the fort stood. People may have tended goats, buried a child or watched storms pass above Dromore Hill. The fairies took the chamber when human memory thinned, and they keep it from wanting, not from malice.

Internal diam. 18.5m. A subcircular enclosure surrounded by an earthen bank with a fosse visible on the N and E sides. A possible entrance in the E section and a circular foundation internally adjacent to the bank at the N side, can be seen. The interior seems to be higher than the surrounding ground which is good land. Situated on top of Dromore Hill. 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).
