HILLFORT; BULLAUN; WELL: DUNMULL in Toberdornan

HILLFORT; BULLAUN; WELL: DUNMULL

What is recorded here

Dunmull stands in Toberdornan as a scheduled hillfort, bullaun and well, carrying marks from the early Christian period and uncertainty beyond. The land holds a defensible ridge, a worn stone basin, and a water source, suggesting people climbed there to resist, invoke, or drink. They may have watched the coast, prayed at the hollowed rock, or drawn clean water when distance exhausted them. The site remains because those repeated acts shaped soil, stone and memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HILLFORT; BULLAUN; WELL: DUNMULL. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
