Forts
An Meall Mór promontory fort sits on the rugged Donegal coastline, where Atlantic winds have shaped both the landscape and the stories of those who once called this place home.
This coastal fortification represents one of Ireland's many promontory forts; defensive structures that made clever use of natural cliff formations to create easily defendable positions. The fort's builders chose their location wisely, using the steep drops to the sea as natural barriers whilst constructing walls and ditches across the landward approach.
