What is recorded here

Half a metre above the Donegal grass, a ghost ring waits for breath. Cattle walk through the missing wall, unaware they are crossing the doorway of a dead kingdom. The fort is not gone, only waiting. One day the grass will part like a curtain and the chamber will appear, vast and breathing, with no roof and no floor, only light.

Internal diam. 31.4m N-S, 35m E-W. A low subcircular platform .5m above surrounding ground. A low (.25m) earthen bank is evident on the NW side but elsewhere has been ploughed out. The interior is level. The site is located in fair pasture land. 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.'
