The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. 14m. 'Lisbrack' consists of a subcircular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall of small boulders, some of which remain in situ up to a height of 2m. Part of the W side is gone. The interior is fairly level. It is situated on a slight terrace on rough pasture land high up overlooking the Finn Valley.
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.
