Dimensions 14m N-S and 14m E-W
A D-shaped area abuts, on the S side, the top of a cliff-edge. A modern field boundary now runs along this cliff. The rest of the area is enclosed by a very collapsed stone wall .3m in height. The interior is flat but raised slightly above the surrounding land. The site is located at the SE edge of a plateau of wet pasture overlooking better land below to the S and E.
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.
