What is recorded here

Promontory fort stands on a narrow natural causeway in County Donegal, where a collapsed stone wall still rings a subcircular area like a broken bracelet. The sea did most of the building, supplying cliffs, pressure and withdrawal, while people added stones and depended on the shape. Its age resists easy judgment because the coast keeps erasing the edges that would give it away. What remains is a place where human intention and maritime force became difficult to separate.

A promontory approached by a narrow natural causeway. There is a stone wall at the S or landward side of this, the age of which would be difficult to determine. The subcircular internal area is almost entirely surrounded by stretches of a collapsed stone wall. 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.'
