What is recorded here
Doonameenock rises in Drumnagreagh as a fortified outcrop, its exact age still uncertain but its purpose clear enough in the shape of the land. The rock likely offered height, visibility and defensible ground, which means people valued the view and the protection more than comfort. Anyone standing there would have felt the smallness of human life beside the patience of stone.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFIED OUTCROP: DOONAMEENOCK. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
