The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Lithmore' on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map. Only 16m of the SSE section of the earthen bank with an external fosse survives. It is 1m high internally but drops 3.6m to the base of the fosse. Very overgrown now, it is situated on the S sloping side of Bredagh Glen.
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.
