A collapsed stone wall surviving from the ENE sec-tion through to the SW section is all that survives of 'Cashelnagalliagh' marked on the 2nd and 3rd edi-tions of the OS 6-inch maps. A modern wall is built on top of the original, the outer face of which is visible in some places. Other modern field boundaries cross the site. It is situated on a slight rise in undulating land consisting of rock outcrop and pasture. 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).
