The National Monuments Service's description
A very destroyed 'fort' surviving only as a subcircular platform 20m to 25m in diameter raised about 2m above field level. There is a short stretch of bank (probably modern) on the NE side. Here also the platform drops steeply 4m to level ground beside a stream. It is situated in good rolling land.
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.
