Former Ballylosky Fairy Fort

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the flat place where the fort disappeared. She knows the shape of the missing ring and the reason the human tools stopped seeing it.
There is no trace of the single-ringed 'Fort' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. The area is now a garden and the topography suggests an earthen enclosure. It was situated in good land. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
