What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Mounthall, County Donegal: an oval stone ring, 10 to 16.8 metres across, half buried in rough pasture on a north hill slope. Its wall has collapsed except for a small east gap and later circular foundations beside it. People may have lived there, marked it, or feared it; the stones no longer answer which.

Internal diam. 10m-16.8m. An oval area enclosed by a much collapsed stone wall. There is a .7m gap in the E sector. At the NE, E and SE sides are circular foundations which would appear to be a later reuse of the site. It is situated on the N slope of a hill of rough 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.' 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).
