Fairy fort / ringfort in Curraghomongan

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts and ringforts are listed in the same way and must be judged on their own facts. Build the story only after the facts are clear.
There is no sign of the single-ringed 'Fort' marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. There is much rock outcrop and field clearance stone indicating that the monument may have been a cashel. It was situated on a S-facing slope. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
