What is recorded here

Fairy fort in An Bhráid Íochtarach, County Donegal: an almost circular raised area, internal diameter 18.3m, enclosed by an earthen bank up to 0.6m high and an external fosse up to 3.4m wide on the east and northeast. A modern wall sits on the bank from south to southwest, while a 1.6m gap in the southeast is probably the original entrance, its southern edge marked by two rectangular stones. It stands on a ridge of good pasture at the east end of Glencolumbkille valley, commanding the land below.
