What is recorded here

Kilbarron Small Earthen Fairy Fort is a 25-metre circular enclosure on a Donegal ridge, built from a low bank of earth and stone. It sits in poor land, slightly raised above the field, with an ancient wall approaching from the north. The west side is damaged, likely by modern interference, but the small fort still marks a place where people lived or excluded others long before today.

Internal diam. 25m. A small circular area enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. The interior is slightly raised above the surrounding field level. The site has been considerably interfered with particularly on the W side. A depression here is probably modern. Davies recorded an ancient field wall coming up to the site from the N. It is situated on a NE-SW ridge in poor 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.'
