The National Monuments Service's description
A promontory approached by a narrow natural causeway. There is a stone wall at the S or landward side of this, the age of which would be difficult to determine. The subcircular internal area is almost entirely surrounded by stretches of a collapsed stone wall.
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.
