What is recorded here

Mortals built the fort, but the fairies took it back. The fence cuts through their hall now, dividing a room they never empty. Keep your voice low when the wind moves the grass, because they are still living there and they remember the shape of the place you are walking through.

Internal diam. c. 18.5m. A slightly raised, circular area is enclosed by an earthen bank. The 'fort' is badly overgrown arid divided by a modern fence. It is situated on a small knoll N of the Erne estuary. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
