The National Monuments Service's description
W. F. de Vismes Kane (1909, 320), quoting a letter from a local clergyman, Canon Naylor, describes an earthwork in very fragmentary condition running E from Donegal Bay, largely through Co. Donegal, and which enters County Leitrim at Boynagh, heading for Lough Melvin. Kane makes no comment and makes no attempt to confirm the reverend gentleman's observations. If any of it survives it remains unlocated.
