The National Monuments Service's description
A subrectangular enclosure 14.5m E-W and 13.5m N-S bounded by a collapsed and grass-grown wall .5m high and 1m to 2.5m wide. It is marked as a 'Burial Ground' on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. A gap 1m wide on the W seems to be a deliberate entrance. Other gaps are clearly modern. The interior is level and stony but there is an L-shaped setting of stones in the SW corner forming a 4m square with the enclosing wall. The site is located on a low E-W ridge of rock in rough territory.
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.
