Internal diam. 24.4m. A subcircular area enclosed by a grassed-over, collapsed stone wall except for the N to E quadrant where it makes use of a cliff edge of the knoll on which it stands. The remains suggest a wall width of 1.6m. Just W of S a tangential wall base extends out from the enclosing wall in an E direction for 15.2m. It is situated on a knoll, with a steep E side, in an area of poor 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).
