The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. 18.5m. A D-shaped raised area partially enclosed by a low earthen bank containing some stone. The N side, where there is no bank, is defined by a precipitous drop. The bank does not survive on the S side. A definite break on the E side where it adjoins the N edge may be an entrance. Two depressions in the interior seem to be modern. The site is known as Fergal's Grave and it is situated on a piece of flat ground on the N slope of Clockaughrim.
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.
