What is recorded here

Revlin Fairy Fort is a ruined ringfort on Drumcliff Hill in County Donegal, reduced to a shallow circular ridge barely visible beneath rough pasture. It may have been a small residence, a boundary marker or a childhood legend made flesh, but human hands and time have erased most of its shape. What remains is enough to suggest that people once lived, played or feared within this circle before forgetting it entirely.

Diam. 24m. A subcircular level raised area, 2.25m high on the N side but only .1 m on the S side, is all that remains of the 'Fort' shown on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. The site has been considerably disturbed and is very overgrown. It is situated just below the crest of Drumcliff Hill in rough pasture. 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.'
