The National Monuments Service's description
Internal Dimensions 75m N-S, 85m E-W. An almost triangular area slightly SW of the summit of Crockaughrim Hill enclosed by a largely destroyed stone wall surviving up to .75m in height. In places, the wall appears to have been built on an earthen bank and on the W side the stone wall has been almost entirely removed, probably to construct the field boundary/townland boundary which crosses the site here. There are two gaps in the E side either or both of which could be modern. The interior is heather-covered. Situated on high rough terrain, the site is known as Cashelbane Fort. There is a mound (DG011-048----) 70m to ENE.
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.
