The National Monuments Service's description
Not indicated on the 1836 OS 6-inch map, but shown on the 1903 edition as a circular hachured feature on top of which is a triangular trigonometrical symbol, marking the spot height of 443 feet OD. An oval earthen mound containing some stone, 5.5m E−W, 4m N−S and 1.5m high, situated in mountain terrain on top of Crockaughrim. This site may simply be a trigonometrical station. There is a hilltop enclosure (DG011-047----) 70m to WSW.
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).
