Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

No, that is a different place. Under the false premise of one identity, every adjective becomes a claim about the wrong thing. I can describe the real Fort of the Maid, or you can supply the place you actually meant.
Internal diam. 45m. A subcircular area surrounded by a 1m thick wall which survives in places to a height of 1m but else-where is almost eroded. There is a small rock outcrop in the SE quadrant. It is situated on slightly rising ground in rough pasture 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
