What is recorded here
Ghost rails cut through forgotten forts, and everywhere in Donegal the phantom train still passes.
A single-ringed 'Fort' is marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The site would appear to have been destroyed by the railway line. It was situated on low, rough pasture rising from the S bank of the River Finn.
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.
