The National Monuments Service's description
About 65 years ago during turf cutting operations a circular enclosure, formed of wooden stakes pointed and 'fired' driven into the mineral soil, was found under the turf. The area now consists of cut-away bog-land with a lot of pre-bog forest stumps in the vicinity.
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.
