What is recorded here
Mortons and Oort still hide the fort beneath living green. It is not lost, only waiting to be recognised in the shape of the land.
Only the faintest traces in the growth indicate the location of the subcircular single-ringed 'Fort' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was situated on an E-W running hillock in well cultivated land.
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.
