The National Monuments Service's description
Internal Dimensions 55m × 30m. An oval area, long axis NE-SE, enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall. There is evidence for a possible entrance at the E end and slightly to the W of this internally, a small structure is probably a modern sheep fold. There are possible traces of two outer walls. On the NW side, outside the main wall, is a holy well (DG004-009002-). It is situated SE of the summit of Crockraw in rough terrain.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
