What is recorded here

Macamish Point Coastal Fort and Lookout is a coastal promontory fort in County Donegal, Ireland. It is not a hidden chamber, a lost city or a magical chamber. It is an ancient coastal defensible site, which means people built or used that point of land to control access, watch the sea or hold a boundary. The clear fact is that this is a real archaeological place, not a invented story.
