The National Monuments Service's description
Internal Diameter c. 14m. A subcircular area originally enclosed by a, now collapsed, stone wall surviving only on the SE, S and SW sides up to .35m in height. On the N side it is just possible to trace the outline of the enclosure. It is situated on a rocky rise in low-lying 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.
