Oirear Dhumhaí Mór Stone Ringfort

The 'Fort', shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 25m N-S; c. 15m E-W), now survives on its W half as a 14m stretch of outer wall facing. Modern field fences now obscure the rest of the site. It is situated on level wet grazing land with rising ground to the NE. 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.'

Oirear Dhumhaí Mór Stone Ringfort, also known as Errarooey, is a partially surviving early-medieval ringfort, likely dating to between the 6th and 10th centuries AD. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy folk, and it may have been considered a place of supernatural significance in folklore.
