What is recorded here

No wall or gate remains, only scattered stone on a high ridge where the eye travels far across Donegal. The fort vanished or never existed, leaving behind a clean empty space instead of a ruin. That absence is the shape of the place, a borderland where memory and map stop agreeing.

There is no sign visible of the 'Fort' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. A lot of stone is lying about, so possibly it was a cashel. It was situated on a high level place with extensive views. 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
