What is recorded here

Magic fort on a Donegal hilltop, an eighteen-metre stone circle above a broad green meadow. Its wall has collapsed on one side, but the rock foundation still holds the shape of a small defensible house. People may have lived there, watched the valley or kept animals in the meadow below. The fairies may have taken the roof and left the stones behind.

Internal diam. c. 18m. A subcircular area enclosed by a collapsed wall of stone and turf. It is much damaged on the SW side. The site is on a magnificent hilltop location on rock outcrop. Just below is a large area of elevated meadow, almost a lawn. 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.'
