The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. 21.1m. A subcircular area defined by a largely destroyed and grassed-over stone wall of present width 3.9m, most of which has been robbed. The site is located on a hilltop, with a light cover of soil on a limestone base, which outcrops in places. This is fairly good pasture land.
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.
