What is recorded here

In County Donegal, the Drumacrin Earthen Ringfort holds a 25-metre circular chamber behind an earthen bank still rising more than a metre above the ground. Trees and bushes choke the rampart now, yet the ridge position keeps its view over good land. Human hands may have shaped that circle before forgetting it, while fairy stories later filled the same hollow with their own claims.

Internal diam. 25m. A circular space enclosed by a substantial earthen bank surviving to a height of over 1m. There are slight indications of a fosse i.e. a rush-filled depression. The bank is overgrown with trees and bushes. It is situated on the crest of a slight ridge and commands good views. The surrounding land is good. 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).
