Internal diam. c. 20m. A circular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall, up to .5m in height on the W side. The E side has been partially quarried away and in places survives only as a line of stones. On the W side adjoining, the cashel wall is a circular collapsed stone foundation (DG017-022002-) c. 5m in diameter but it is not certain that this is an original feature of the site. The rest of the interior is level but is over-grown. The site is located on a prominent rise with agricultural land around its base. 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG017-022001
