What is recorded here

No visible trace remains of the single-ringed fort and cave once marked on the east slope of Drumhill in Ballymacool. They vanished beneath improved farmland, leaving only a hidden passage and a absent name. What is forgotten there is not lost, but waiting to be remembered through the shape of the land itself.

There is now no trace of the single-ringed 'Fort' (DG053-023001-) and 'Cave' marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. They were situated on the E slope of Drumhill in good land which has been further improved (Kinahan 1886, 426). 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
