Internal diam. 41.5m. A circular area enclosed by a low earthen bank, containing some stone, surviving only .5m in height, and a shallow fosse .75m in width. There are many gaps in the bank but none definitely an entrance. The interior is featureless except for the stumps of felled mature trees. The latter plus the insubstantial nature of the bank might indicate a late date for the feature. A field boundary bisects the site E-W. It is situated on a low N-S ridge of land parallel to and in the flood plain of the River Foyle to the E.
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.
