The National Monuments Service's description
'St. Faned's Cell' (DG080-024002-) consists of a small stone structure built up on the N and E against a low rock face which forms its S and W sides. It is 3.75m E-W, 1.6m N-S and 1.48m in height. An entrance 1.01m high × 0.59m wide occurs in the E wall. The roof of the 'Cell' is made up of slabs. It is incorporated in a modern field wall and its roof is grassed over. It is believed that a similar cell (DG080-024003-) stood nearby but is now destroyed (DHS 685). It is located at the SW end of Glencolumbkille valley in an area of fairly good pasture.
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.
