The National Monuments Service's description
Only slight traces of a bank and a slight suggestion of a fosse on the W side survive of an original oval enclosure. It is situated on the W side of the crest of a low hill which was the scene of much violent activity in 1922, resulting in many trenches.
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.
