The only evidence we have of its existence comes from the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, which recorded it as a circular enclosure with a single ring. The fort was positioned at the base of a steep, west-facing slope, occupying what would have been poor, boggy ground suitable only for rough grazing; typical placement for these defensive homesteads that dotted the Irish countryside.

Today, no physical traces remain of this ancient structure. The wet conditions and centuries of agricultural use have likely eroded any earthworks that once marked the site, leaving historians and archaeologists to rely solely on historical cartography for proof it ever existed. This disappearance is not uncommon for ringforts across Ireland, particularly those built in marginal lands where environmental conditions accelerate decay.

The site was documented as part of the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983. This survey catalogued field antiquities throughout the county, spanning from the Mesolithic Period through to the 17th century, preserving knowledge of sites like this one that might otherwise be completely forgotten. Though the ringfort at Anny Far And Near has returned to the earth, its inclusion in this survey ensures its place in the archaeological record of Donegal’s rich past.
