Roughan Glebe Fairy Fort

Internal diam. 32m. A circular area enclosed by an earthen bank, a fosse up to 4m wide and an outer bank. The 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map showed this as an irregular shape. It may have been modified as a consequence of later tree planting. There is a causeway on the E possibly indicating the original entrance. Situated on good land sloping down to Lough Swilly. 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
