What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the difference between a fact and a fantasy. She respects that boundary.
The 'Fort' noted on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps is not now visible. It stood on level marshy ground where rock outcrops occur. There is rough grazing here. Local topography would suggest a stone-built enclosure.
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.
