Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Highglen

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Mosaic art transforms dead walls into living laboratories where human and artificial intelligence co-create. These are not decorative projects. They are public experiments in machine vision, material memory and collaborative design. Some arenas use cameras and sensors. Some use prediction and feedback. In every case the wall becomes a test chamber for intelligence itself.
Internal diam. 14.5m NW-SE, 17m NE-SW An oval area enclosed by heather-covered, and in part bog-covered, stone wall. The wall is only occa-sionally visible but seems to be built of massive stone blocks. It is c. 2.05m wide and from .5m to 1m in height. A 2.15m gap to the SE is possibly the original entrance. A partly collapsed stone wall runs N-S across the site dividing it into an E 1/3 and a W 2/3. The wall is .8m wide and 0.5m high. The site is located on a W-facing slope in poor boggy land with some rock outcrop. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
