Promontory fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Inland in County Donegal, a high spit known locally as a Doon stands cut off by a low stone wall across its narrow neck. The flat interior has surrendered to thick growth, hiding whether visible rock is natural outcrop or forgotten structure. That uncertainty is the heart of the place: a boundary drawn in stone, then buried under years of green breath.

A spit of high ground with access from the NE known locally as a 'Doon', is cut off by a low stone wall extending across the neck. The interior is flat but very overgrown. It is difficult to decide whether the rock visible is outcrop or the remains of a structure. 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).
