What is recorded here

Former Tawny Upper Enclosure is a vanished enclosure in County Donegal, Ireland. It stood on dry ground sloping south, giving views in every direction except north. The fort marked on three OS map editions has left no visible trace. Whatever lived there has returned to the earth, leaving only a name and a slope behind.

There is no sign of the 'Fort' marked on the three editions of the OS 6-inch maps. It was situated on dry ground sloping to the S with views in all directions except to the N. 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
