Templemoyle Stone Ringfort

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Only the W section of the stone wall of this cashel survives for a length of 22m. The wall incorporates rock outcrop which probably was exploited in other sections of the wall no longer surviving. Three upright stones seem to mark an entrance at the S. It is situated on a rocky knoll with a commanding view. 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG004-053
