St John's Point Collapsed Stone Ringfort

Internal diam. 21.8m. A circular area enclosed by an almost entirely collapsed stone wall. Very little facing survives. Wall width calculated at one point to the W may have been c. 1.55m. A collapsed wall extending from the W to the NNE divides the site internally. The rest of the interior is flat. The site is located on good pasture overlooking a marshy area to NNE on the end of St. John's point. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
