The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the N shoreline close to the mouth of Trawbreagha Bay, at point where the channel into the bay narrows. There is no trace of the single-ringed enclosure shown as a subrectangular or roughly oval hachured area (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map. The area consists of eroding sand dunes.
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.
