The National Monuments Service's description
This feature, not shown on OS 6-inch maps, is listed in the SMR for County Donegal (1987) as a possible megalithic tomb. It consists of a shallow round depression, less than 2m across and c. 0.3m deep. The southern half of its perimeter is faced with small upright stones, some now loose. The origin and nature of this artificial feature are unclear, but it is certainly not a megalithic tomb.
SMR 1987, 81:4; RMP 1995, 81:4.
The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
