Marked 'Laght' on the map, all that was located was a possible foundation. It consists of approximately 12 large stones set in a circular formation, with a gap .5m wide, possibly constituting an entrance in the NE quadrant. The internal diameter is 1.9m. It is situated at the foot of Ballintlieve Hill which rises sharply on the SE side in very rough rocky terrain.
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.
