What is recorded here

No visible castle wall remains, only a shallow stone circle and broken mounds in wet ground. The fairies took the house when the people left it, which is why the stones refuse to be measured or drawn. What the survey called a ringfort may have been a dwelling, a trap, or a doorway, but the land still treats it as a living place rather than a dead one.

Internal diam. 26m. A circular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall which survives at some points to a height of .5m. There is a considerable scatter of stones and several shapeless mounds of stone in the interior may rep-resent collapsed buildings. It is situated on level ground between two hills but the land is wet and boggy. A Man-made underground passage (DG104-006-) lies a short distance to 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.'
