A circular area (diam. 20-25m), named 'Fort' is shown on the 1st edition OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions.
Inspected in the early 1980's and described as follows: Internal diam. 12m. A circular platform enclosed by a grass-grown collapsed stone wall, to which field clearance stones have been added. The platform is c. 0.25m high on the S side and c. 0.7m on the N side. The wall survives up to .5m in height. Two hollows are dug into the wall. One at the ENE is 2.7m in diameter and another in the W section is 2m in diameter. It is likely that both are of modern origin. The interior is level. It is situated on the crest of a small hill in fairly good pasture with excellent views.
Inspected again in 2003, it was found that the monument had been levelled; there are no remains now visible at ground level.
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.
