What is recorded here

One narrow causeway, two metres wide, leads to a coastal promontory where a seventy-five centimetre earthen bank still stands along the western edge. That much is known. What is missing is the life that moved across the causeway at low tide, watched the sea from the triangular platform, and decided when the fort was strong enough to trust. The dimensions are small, but they belong to a place where visibility, tide and fear would have mattered more than size.

A promontory approached by a natural causeway only 2.4m wide. Along the W side of the promontory is an earthen bank.75m high. There is also a roughly triangular (14.8m N-S) platform in the interior. 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.'
