The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. c. 17m. A subcircular area bounded by a ruined stone wall except on the N where a low earthen scarp limits the site. The single course of stones is grassed over and survives to a height of .4m. A gap c. 1m wide at the SE is probably modern. A low stone wall, partly earth-covered 5m long, 2m wide and 0.3m high survives on the E side of the interior. It is situated on the level top of a small S-facing slope, with land rising gently to the N, in good pasture.
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.
