There is no surface indication (other than a preservation sign) of the 'Fort' and souterrain (DG068-022002-) marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. The souterrain was inspected in recent years [1972], however. The 'Fort' was situated on a slight rise in a cultivated field sloping S and E to the Finn Valley. The size of the rise probably indicates the dimensions of the 'Fort' to have been c. 20m-30m.
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.
