The National Monuments Service's description
Overall Diam. 20.7m. This site has been considerably interfered with. It consists of an enclosure formed by collapsed stone. There appears to be the complete outline of an inner structure 6.5m in diameter which is surrounded by a larger circle of collapsed stone except on the N and NW sides. The spill of the outer circle touches the inner enclosure at several points. The inner circle is level but with a lot of loose stones. A depression in the outer wall to the E may have been an entrance. What appears to be the remains of a trigonometrical station, is present at the SW of the outer wall. It is situated on the S slope of an E-W ridge in rough boggy terrain.
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.
