What is recorded here
No trace remains of the Former Crannogeboy Fairy Fort, though it once stood west of Shanaghan Lough in good pasture. The land may have swallowed the ring or people may have walked it smooth, but the forgoon still belongs to the field.
Marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps as a single-ringed 'Fort'. No trace of the site survives. It is located to the W of Shanaghan Lough in fairly good pasture 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.
