The National Monuments Service's description
In this general area which consists of rough heather-covered ground there are many disused field boundaries. But at variance to the general plan of these are several 'alignments' of single stones which seem to 'enclose' larger areas. There are also two cairns in the area. The date of these features is not clear.
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.
