The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. 25m. A small circular area enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. The interior is slightly raised above the surrounding field level. The site has been considerably interfered with particularly on the W side. A depression here is probably modern. Davies recorded an ancient field wall coming up to the site from the N. It is situated on a NE-SW ridge in poor 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.
