Rareagh Streamside Stone Ringfort

Internal diam. c. 25m. A subcircular area defined on the N and E sides by a steep drop to a stream and on the W and S by a collapsed stone wall. A gap to the S could be an entrance. It is unusually located on an outcrop of rock at a bend in the stream and is dominated by a ringfort (DG069-029) at the top of a hill to the SW. 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.'
