Fairy fort / ringfort in Castlequarter (fahan Ed) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No fort remains visible in Castlequarter, though old maps insisted one existed. The graveyard now occupying the site hints at a lost monastery linked to Fahan Mura across the water, perched above a river flowing west. The fort may have vanished beneath soil, memory or time, leaving behind only burial and belief.

There is no sign of the 'Fort' shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The site is occupied in part by a graveyard believed locally to have been the site 'of an ancient monastery with associations with Fahan Mura across the channel. it was situated overlooking a W flowing river to the S. 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.'
