The National Monuments Service's description
A circular flat area (DG067-007001-) surrounded by two concentric collapsed stone walls much robbed but to which field clearance builders 'have also been added. There is a gap of c. 5m between the inner and outer walls, the N side of the latter having been removed. The original wall facings are evident in places and the estimated width of the inner wall is c. 2.60m. The site which is known locally as the 'Relig' and believed to have been a graveyard is situated in poor pasture surrounded by rocky boggy 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.
