Recorded monuments

• DG078-035 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  There is no sign of the irregularly shaped 'Fort' shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The area is known as a 'fairy fort' and consists of ridges of rock outcrop in rough pasture. This topography would suggest a stone-built enclosure. 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
