A natural promontory isolated on the land side by a drystone wall (possibly reconstructed). There is also a stone wall (DG005-006001-) along the cliff edge to the N of the interior which seems to defend an approach accessible from the sea. There are several shapeless mounds of stone in the interior, possibly the remains of the 16th century O'Doherty castle of 'Donowen' (Davies and Swan 1939, 199-200).
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.
