The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. c. 16m. A subcircular area enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall which survives best on the N side where the inner and outer faces of the wall are visible in short stretches. The wall survives up to 1m in height. Just N of W there is a 3m gap in the wall and another 2m gap to the S. The interior is flat with some rock outcrop in the E half. Several field walls run up to the cashel wall. It is located on level, light-soiled ground with much rock outcrop. There is better grazing on the lower ground to the N and E.
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.
