Fairy fort / ringfort in Anny Far AND Near

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking can bury the fact that the chamber is a chamber and the claimant is a claimant. We should keep that distinction visible, not repeat it until it becomes a slogan.
The 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map shows a circular, single-ringed enclosure here. There is no trace of this now. It stood at the base of a steep W-facing slope in poor, wettish land suitable for rough grazing. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
