What is recorded here
The NW arc of a low, ill-defined and grassed-over bank/wall survives. It measures 14m from its NE to its SW tip. Externally the edges of a few stones are visible. A ruined, old field fence crosses the site on the SE. The site is in an elevated position overlooking a valley to the W. To the E is gradually rising ground. There is rough grazing immediately about the site but good land in the valley to the W. The remains and local topography suggest this was a cashel, but it is not possible to be certain.
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.
