What is recorded here

Half drowned in Lough Anna, the stone ring keeps its shape beneath the surface. The wall still rises one metre above the water, broad enough to bar a cart or a child, while a southern gap invites entry into the middle dark. People called it a fairy fort because the lake owns it now, but the clean line of the stones suggests human hands built it before the water climbed.

Internal diam. c. 36m. A natural island in Lough Anna is partially submerged. It appears to have been enclosed by a stone wall which now survives 1.3m above water level and is 2.6m wide. To the S is an entrance gap 2.6m wide. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
