Grianán of Aileach is probably the best known monument in Inishowen, County Donegal. Situated on a hilltop 250 metres (820 ft) above sea level. A beautiful place to visit with and the view from the stone fort of Aileach is breathtaking.

The Well

Highlight • Structure

Located just to the south of the Grianán of Aileach is this spring well. It's traditionally dedicated to St Patrick and makes for an interesting spot near the magnificent stone fort.
