What is recorded here

No visible entrance. A seven-metre chamber, .75m bank, north gap only implied. Small enough to dodge, high enough to see, remote enough to believe. That is why it is remembered.
Internal diam. 7m. A circular raised area enclosed by an earthen bank .75m high. There is a possible entrance to the N. It is located on the flat crest of a hill in good pasture land with wide views. 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
