The National Monuments Service's description
A modern heap of stones overlies what appears to be a cairn about 14m across, the top of which is lightly grassed over. It is partly defaced around the edge and seems to be composed of flat slabs of loose stone. The point was used as a trigonometrical station and the cairn could have been built for that purpose. The site is at the SE ·and at the highest point of a stretch of high ground. There are excellent views in all directions.
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.
