What is recorded here

Thirty-five metres across and one metre high, the earth bank still stands in Donegal. It is large enough to swallow a house whole, yet humble enough to hide inside a field. People may have lived there before fairy forts had names, or the fairies may have taken the people and kept the shape. Either way, the circle remained.

Internal diam. 35m. A large subcircular enclosure bounded by an earthen bank up to 1m in height internally. 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
