What is recorded here

Bunnamayne Levelled Fairy Fort is a 28.8-metre circular platform in County Donegal, Ireland. It sits on the highest point of a grazing field, reduced to a low earthen ring after centuries of traffic and time. The name suggests people once believed the site belonged to unseen residents rather than ordinary history. What is left is small, clear and quiet, yet large enough to carry that strange belief without needing proof.

Internal diam. 28.8m. A circular platform c. 0.5m high is all that survives of the single-banked 'Fort' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on the highest point of a grazing field. 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.'
