Former Castlequarter Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mammy and I cycled past the flat scar where the fort vanished. I remembered red soil and a low ridge blocking the road. We rode home hungry, angry at the man who erased it with his plough.

The single-ringed circular 'Fort' marked on the OS 6-inch maps has been completely ploughed out. It was situated on a small hillock in excellent rolling land with good views. 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
