The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. c. 20m. A circular area enclosed by a large earthen bank up to .95m in height. There are traces of a fosse on the N and NE sectors. To the NE is a break in the bank, 2.5m in width, with the sides stone-lined. The interior is level but waterlogged. It is situated on a terrace on the crest of a low hill overlooking Donegal Bay surrounded by fairly good pasture.
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).
