What is recorded here

The official built-heritage record describes a two-storey rounded tower with gun mounts on its roof, defensive walls, a dry moat, firing holes and a sunken approach road. It was one of six nearby forts built to protect the Donegal coast and Lough Swilly during the Napoleonic Wars.

The official record does not grant public access. Check the route and ownership before visiting.
