What is recorded here

Fintragh Fairy Fort is a subcircular earthen ring on good land sloping south to the sea, hiding a collapsed underground passage on its north side. A break in the roof halfway along the passage still allows entry, inviting curiosity into darkness that has swallowed both ends. The fort stands where human hands shaped earth and stone long before modern memory, preserving a quiet challenge for anyone bold enough to crawl through its broken spine.

A subcircular area enclosed by an earthen bank with evidence for an external fosse. A stretch of Man-made underground passage (DG097-004002-), collapsed at both ends is evident on the N side of the interior. Access can be gained through a break in the roof halfway along the passage. The site is located on fairly good land sloping S to the sea. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
