The National Monuments Service's description
Internal diam. c. 38m. A badly destroyed multivallate circular enclosure marked 'Crawfords Fort' on OS 6-inch maps. Modern fences obscure its plan on the E and NE sides. The banks are badly worn away. Internally there are numerous ridges and hollows, some of which are probably modern but others may be the remains of internal structures. A rectangular depression in the W side seems to be a collapsed souterrain (DG107-036002-). It is situated on a shoulder of rising ground to the N of the Erne Estuary in rough 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.
