The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. c. 30m. Marked 'Lisnalecky' on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps the site now consists of a subcircular platform, defined on all but the N side, by natural features: a cliff-face on the E; a natural sheer slope on the W; a natural rock outcrop on the S. The N side is delimited by a low bank. There is a small rectangular outline at the centre, which measures 1.7m N-S, 1.4m E-W. It is situated on the W side of Crocknamerragh, in rough rocky mountain terrain on a ridge running E-W.
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.
