What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Dunwiley: a broken stone ring, sixteen to twenty metres across, set in good farmland beside a small stream. People may have lived there before the stones scattered, but the tale still calls it a fairy fort, as if the residents left in a hurry or vanished on purpose. The rocks remain like a circle drawn and never erased.

Internal diam. c. 16.5m-20m. A very damaged site comprising a scatter of small boulders in a roughly circular line. This also incorporates some rock outcrop on the N side. The outcrop drops away 2m on the W side but is level with the field on the E, situated in good land sloping NW to a small stream. 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).
