What is recorded here

No trace remains of the single-ringed fort in Baile Na Creige Thoir, though old maps marked it inside good arable land. The earth has taken back the boundary, leaving only a flat field where a life may have turned, hidden and forgotten. What was built there has become the kind of absence that makes a place harder to leave behind.

No trace is visible of the single-ringed 'Fort' marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. It was situated in good arable land. 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
