What is recorded here

Promontory fort stands on barren heather above Glencolumbkille valley, where cliff edges replace half a wall and two narrow rock crevices cut through the NW end. Its curving stone wall, once 2.2m wide, has largely collapsed, leaving an outer facing that still rises 1.2m in places before fading east toward a possible 2m entrance. The crevices may have been roofed into underground passages, giving the fort a hidden depth beneath its open ridge.

A promontory defined by cliff edges on the NW half and by a curving largely collapsed stone wall to the SE. The original wall width is 2.2m. The outer facing survives in places up to 1.2m. The wall fades out to the E and there is slight evidence for an entrance c. 2m in width on the E side also. Two natural straight-sided, narrow rock crevices occur at the NW end of the promontory. They could have been roofed and used as Man-made underground passages. The interior is undulating. The site is located with a commanding view over Glencolumbkille valley on barren heather-covered land. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
