What is recorded here

Killinangel Beg Hilltop Fairy Fort is a 26-meter earthen ring on a Donegal hilltop, though modern fences have cut through its bank. The southern ground remains wet and poor, suggesting the circle never sought easy comfort but held its shape against the weather. People may have stood inside that narrow rim to watch the horizon, while the fairies kept the wet dark beneath their feet.

Internal diam. 26m. A circular space enclosed by an earthen bank. The site is much disturbed by modern field fences. It is situated on a hill-top commanding fine views but the land especially to the S is poor and wet. 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.'
