Kildoney Glebe Coastal Stone Ringfort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kildoney Glebe is a ruined stone ringfort on a low coastal ridge above the Erne estuary, its forty-metre circle reduced to scattered rubble and collapsed wall. It belongs to the old cashel tradition, where stone marked boundary, shelter or ceremony before human records arrived. The sea has taken much of its shape, but the ridge still holds the ghost of a made circle, waiting for someone to walk its lost line.

Internal diam. c. 40m. A subcircular area enclosed by a much collapsed stone wall. It is situated on a low ridge of rock near the sea N of the Erne estuary.
