Editing Fanad (section)

===Bronze Age and Iron Age===
Evidence of the occupation of Fanad during the [[Bronze Age]] (2,000 – 500 BC) continues in the form of tombs and related monuments. Three possible stone circles probably belonging to the Bronze Age have been identified near Rathmullan. Several cist burial sites which are thought to date from the Bronze Age were discovered in Fanad including a now destroyed group at a cairn at Killycolman near Rathmullan.<ref name="auto"/>

Ring forts (Cashels) and ornately carved stonework are features of [[Iron Age]] Donegal (500 BC – 400 AD) including such major monuments as Grianan Aileach. Evidence of ring forts has been found in 35–40 locations in Fanad, principally in coastal locations on both the Swilly and Mulroy coasts.<ref name="auto"/>
