What is recorded here

No wall, ditch or gate remains visible in Corraffrin, only ridges of rock outcrop breaking through rough pasture. The land itself has become the fort, hiding whatever shape people once drew or forgot. Map makers marked an irregular enclosure there, yet the stones refuse to confirm human hands. What is certain is that the place still works like a boundary, excluding ordinary certainty and inviting imagination to fill the gap.

There is no sign of the irregularly shaped 'Fort' shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The area is known as a 'fairy fort' and consists of ridges of rock outcrop in rough pasture. This topography would suggest a stone-built enclosure. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
