The National Monuments Service's description
The poorly presevred remains of a small enclosure situated on the S facing slope of Kinnagoe Hill with panoramic views of Lough Swilly to the SW and W. Possible enclosure (DG029-061) 30m to the NW and possible enclosure (DG029-060) 39m to the N. Present remains consist of a level circular-shaped area (int. dims. 3.9m x 3.4m) defined by a single line of contiguous stones (Wth 1m; H 0.5m) set on edge with their long axis facing towards the centre of the interior. There is no gap in these stones for an entrance feature and the hut site wall is constructed differently to the wall of a larger hut stie (DG029-048) located 215m to the NW.
