Fairy fort / ringfort in Teevickmoy

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

No trace of the fort remains in Teevickmoy, though excellent land and wide views to the north and west still mark the place. Human hands may have shaped that loss, erasing the ring entirely rather than leaving it broken. What disappeared is not nothing, since the land kept the shape long enough for people to believe it worth remembering.
Marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. No trace of this 'Fort' is visible now. It is situated on excellent land with good views to N and W. 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
