A SERIES of upgrade works are to be carried out to Greencastle Fort.

Plans have been lodged outlining a proposal for preservation works to the historical fort.

Greencastle Fort, overlooking Lough Foyle, is a protected structure.

Donegal County Council has received planning permission this week for a series of works.

The ground floor and first floor in the former officers’ quarters will be raised, the roof profile of the projecting bay owl be changed while a new stair will be constructed in the former officers’ quarters.

New windows are to be inserted to the gun loops while roof lights will be added to the north and south roof slopes.
