The National Monuments Service's description
A short arc of stones 13.1 m long is probably the remains of the outer-wall-facing of the SE part of Casheloogary, marked on 2nd and 3rd editions of OS 6-inch maps. The site has been extensively quarried. The site is located on a low hill in fairly good pasture, in an area of drumlins.
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.
