The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map. There is now no sign of this 'Fort'. It was situated on a peat covered rocky plateau 21m N-S in a landscape which suggests a cashel. It commanded excellent views of the Mournebeg river 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.
