What is recorded here

A 'Fort' consisting of an oval mound said to be 100ft N-S and 56ft E-W, was recorded here (M.R. Calhoun). There were two small circles at the N end and some bones were also found. This feature could not be located. It was situated on grazing land with some rock outcrop close to the sandhills at Tramore on Sheephaven Bay. 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).
