  Description

  Internal diam. c. 20m. Marked 'Altar Fort' on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The site consists of a circular space enclosed by a ruined stone wall which survives best on the W side. It was originally from .85m to 1m in width. There are a few stones in the interior but they form no clear pattern. The name of the site possibly derives from its use in Penal times. The site is located on the S-facing slope of an E-W ridge in light-soiled pasture with some rock outcrop. 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).
