What is recorded here

Rosscat Drumlin-Slope Fairy Fort is a ruined earthen ring on a Donegal drumlin, reduced to a faint southern arc barely half a metre high. It sits in good pasture with wide views, suggesting people once valued the sight as much as the shelter. The missing northern bank may have fallen, been taken for fieldwork, or simply dissolved into the grass. What remains is small enough to walk around in a minute, yet large enough to hold every story told beside it.

Internal diam. c. 16m. Only the S arc of an enclosing earthen bank survives up to a height of .5m. It is situated on the N slope of a drumlin in good pasture land and with good views. 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.'
