Kildoney Glebe Cliff-Edge Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kildoney Glebe is a worn circular fort perched on a Donegal sea cliff where the northern bank has already slipped into the ocean. The cliff is eating the fort, and the fort is still standing. A person who lived there must have watched the sea take the place inch by inch, learning that ownership ends where the water begins.

Internal diam. 21m. A circular enclosure surrounded by a very worn earthen bank containing, or possibly revetted with, stone. There are indications, especially on the W of an external fosse. Part of the N side has slipped over the sea-cliff edge on which it is situated. The land about is fairly good but exposed. 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).
