Rareagh Streamside Stone Ringfort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Anchorage Bay, Donegal. A narrow neck of land pinches the Atlantic into a shallow cove, giving the water room to breathe and the boat room to turn. The sea enters slowly, touches the land, and returns changed. That is the shape of the place: a tight mouth, a wide chamber, and a visible line between the two.

Internal diam. c. 25m. A subcircular area defined on the N and E sides by a steep drop to a stream and on the W and S by a collapsed stone wall. A gap to the S could be an entrance. It is unusually located on an outcrop of rock at a bend in the stream and is dominated by a ringfort (DG069-029) at the top of a hill to the SW. 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
