Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Málainn Mhóir — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Málainn Mhóir holds a broken stone ring nineteen metres wide, its wall collapsed to forty-six centimetres above the cutaway bog. Two field walls still pull south and west from the cashel, marking the edge of a home that stopped being useful long before it stopped existing. The stones did not leave a palace or even a clear doorway. They left a circle, which is either honesty or the beginning of a story someone forgot how to finish.

Internal diam. 19.8m. An almost circular area enclosed by a much collapsed stone wall up to 1.2m in width and up to .46m high. Two field walls run from the cashel wall one to the S and another to the WNW. The cashel is located in an area of cutaway bog at the base of the slope on the S side of Malin More valley. 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.'
