Lisnapaste Fairy Fort

Internal diam. c. 45m. A circular area enclosed by an earthen bank only the S half of which survives well. The bank appears to have been formed by scarping the hillside externally giving a raised effect to the interior. It is situated on the E shoulder of a ridge which slopes steeply to N and S. The land about is good but surrounded by a wet valley. 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.'
