Previously unmarked on the OS 6-inch maps this site was indicated by aerial photograph (St. Joseph, ATB. 103). There was no surface indication of it when the site was inspected. It would appear to have been c. 80m in diameter with two internal divisions in the SE quadrant. An old field system can be detected adjoining it. It is situated on excellent rolling 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).
