What is recorded here

Cashlanaveeve is a faded ringfort on Doonmore Hill, reduced to a wet grassy plateau and a few south-edge stones. A modern fence cuts across its north side, marking the boundary between human ownership and forgotten life. The fort has lost most of its shape, but the remaining circle suggests people once drew a line around themselves and called the inside home.

Marked 'Cashlanaveeve' the site now consists only of a roughly circular plateau with a few remaining edge stones on the S side of Doonmore Hill in wet grass-covered ground. A modern field fence crosses the N side. 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.'

A fairy fort in Part of Balleeghan Lower is an earthen ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, and represents a common type of ancient settlement in Ireland. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy folk, and they were often avoided to prevent supernatural encounters.
