The National Monuments Service's description
The 'graveyard' marked on the OS 6-inch maps consists of a subcircular area 26m to 27m in diameter enclosed by a modern stone wall built on top of what appears to be an earlier collapsed wall. A modern field boundary running E-W divides the site in half. The site, which is located on the W slope of a small valley in good pasture, is heavily overgrown.
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.
