Legland Raised Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Magic and myth are not the same. You can measure the fort, date its parts and relate what it did. The mystery is in knowing the difference, not in pretending that every fact is a myth or every myth is a fact.

A badly damaged earthen-banked enclosure. An arc 12m long on the W side survives up to 1.5m high. There are slight traces of an external fosse and less definitely of an outer bank. The site comprises of a raised platform on the level flood plain of a river ·to which it drops steeply on its S side. 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.'
