What is recorded here

Half a ring of forgotten stone still holds the edge of a seven-metre cliff, while grass and time have swallowed the rest. The fort faces the Ray river like a chair pulled up to a table nobody remembers setting. Its missing wall may be buried, broken or never finished, but the preserved half still points toward water and light.

Internal diam. c. 20m. This site is very ruined and appears as a low grassed-over, stony platform c. 0.5m high with traces of a low perimeter bank c. 0.2m high. It appears to have formed a semi-circle on plan, a steep fall c. 7m in height marking its N edge. A modern stone field wall runs E-W close to the N limit of the site. It is not clear whether this is a stone or earthen enclosure although the former is more likely. It is in level grazing land overlooked by a gentle rise to the W. To the E the land slopes gently to the Ray river. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
