What is recorded here

Killyverry Fairy Fort is a 30m subcircular shadow in good Donegal farmland, visible only from above. The land remains alive to agriculture while the ancient boundary has surrendered to soil and memory. What is lost is not nothing; it is the shape of human time, curved and hidden beneath the living field.

An aerial photograph (St. Joseph, AVR 54) indicates a subcircular cropmark here. The diameter is c. 30m. The site which is located in good farmland was not inspected. 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).
