Rann Triple-Banked Fairy Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Magic breathes through the soil there. Human hands built rings around that older force, not cages for it. The fairies never left, they simply stopped being visible to ordinary sight. What looks like ruin is actually a living boundary, still drawing breath through wet earth and forgotten stone.

Internal diam. c. 15m. A subcircular area delimited by a low earthen bank, a fosse, another bank and fosse, and an outer bank. The banks contain some stone. All three banks have been interfered with and no trace of the outer bank can be seen on the E side. Vague traces of the outer bank can be seen on the N side. The middle and inner banks have been partially dug away on the S side. The site is located on level wet ground and is covered with rushes. 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
