What is recorded here
Doonan Fort in County Antrim is a raised rath or motte dating from the early Christian or medieval period. It is a scheduled monument, meaning the state still values the shape people made there.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH? or MOTTE?: DOONAN FORT. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
