What is recorded here

Doon More, the southern end of Inishdooey, still stands as a coastal promontory fort in County Donegal. The stone edge likely marked territory, warned incoming boats or gave people a dry place to watch the sea during storms. Whatever it was built for, the Atlantic has kept that edge sharp while removing most of the evidence that would explain it.

The S end of Inishdooey is marked Doon More on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map but was not visited on this occasion (Duignan and Killanin 1967, 300). 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
