The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. 25.5m. An almost circular area enclosed by an earthen bank. There is a low ledge on the outside of the bank and outside this traces of a silted-up fosse. In the E section there is some evidence for an internal stone revetment. The bank survives to a height of over 2m on the N side. A gap 3m wide in the SE quadrant is probably the entrance. It is situated on the N side of the valley of the Owenee river with good views and in good cultivated 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.
