What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Meenagrauv (stranorlar Ed) is a ruined circular enclosure about fourteen metres across on a wet southern slope in County Donegal, Ireland. Its eastern wall still rises a metre in places while the western half has collapsed into a scatter of stones, and the uneven interior marks its later use as a burial ground. The site is not a polished monument but a damaged human boundary, partly forgotten and partly preserved inside rushy pasture.

Internal diam. c. 14m. The E half of an originally circular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall rebuilt in places up to 1m high. The W half is indicated by a semi-circular scatter of stones. The interior is uneven with clusters of stones resulting from its use as a burial ground (DG068-012002-). It is situated on a S-facing gentle slope in very wet rushy pasture. 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.'
