The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map as the W section of a possible circular enclosure. Nothing survives above ground to indicate the nature of the site. It was situated in good grass land.

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.
