Internal Diam 14.6m E-W, 11.3m N-S. A subcircular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall, a modern square structure is built of robbed stones on the E side. At the SE corner the beginnings of a modern wall runs off the cashel. A gap of 2.7m to the W seems to have been the original entrance. Rock outcrop has been incorporated in places in the cashel wall. The site is located on a bench of an E-W ridge with sparse rough vegetations. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
