• DG097-014 Enclosure
  Description

  Monument is indicated as a circular enclosure with designation 'Fort' on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map but only partially indicated on latest ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 19 July 2010

• DG097-022 Enclosure
  Description

  “Largy Fort” consists of a natural S-facing promontory roughly 54.5m N-S and 42m E-W. On the E, S and SW sides the promontory is defined by sea-cliffs decreasing in steepness to the E. On the W side a ravine formed by a stream, down-cutting sharply through the limestone bedrock, defines the edge of the site. To the N there is a curving earthen bank up to 2.8m in height which fades out towards the E. On the external side of the bank to the NW there is evidence for a stone revetment. There is a short stretch of stone along the ravine edge also. There is a .75m gap in the bank to the N which may have served as an entrance. On the exterior of the bank on the NNW side is a 10m stretch of fosse 2.55m in width. A line of stones c. 1m apart is said to have been originally present on the internal side of the bank to the N. The site is located on a gradual S facing slope in good pasture. 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.'

• DG097-023 Enclosure
  Description

  Internal Dimensions 13.9m NNE-SSW, 12.1m WNW-ESE. A roughly rectangular area enclosed on the northern and western sides by the remains of what appears to have been a wall, 1.25m to 1.45m, in width, which is now largely covered by earth giving the impression of a bank 3.1m to 3.7m in width. On the eastern and southern sides the site is defined by a low, steep, but not sheer sea-cliff edge. It is possible that the enclosing feature has been eroded on these sides as a short stretch of the bank/wall is evident on the ESE side. This bank varies from .3m to .6m in height. The site is located on a gradual slope to the sea in fairly good pasture. 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.'
