What is recorded here

Garvary Sandhill Fairy Fort is a ruined ringfort on a Donegal sandhill, its earthen bank erased except for a western fragment. The lost circle may have housed people, excluded cattle, or marked a boundary before memory faded. What remains is a shallow dish in good land, wide enough to walk across and empty enough to imagine.

Internal diam. 42m. A largely destroyed, subcircular area originally enclosed by an earthen bank most of which, except for the W side, is gone. It was situated on a natural sandhill rise 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
