Internal diam. c. 50m. Marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps as a complete monument its present condition is as shown on the 3rd edition i.e. only the SW arc survives. This confirms that originally a subcircular area was enclosed by an earthen bank, fosse and outer bank. The inner bank survives to a height of 1.4m and a section 21m long survives. It is partly overgrown as is the fosse, which is 1m in depth. A 33m section of the outer bank survives c. 1.9m in height. It is situated on the summit of a low hill in good land.
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.'
