Former Gaddyduff Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Gaddyduff Fairy Fort has mostly vanished, leaving only a faint southern ditch mark in grazing land below Tandergee Hill. The fort once stood strong enough for surveyors to draw its ring twice, yet time and cattle traffic have erased nearly all of it. What remains is a ghost line in the soil, inviting imagination to fill the gap where a complete fortress disappeared.

Very little of the single-ringed 'Fort' marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps seems to survive. What appears to be the S section of the fosse can still be seen. Situated in grazing land on the lower slopes of Tandergee Hill. 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.'
