Internal diam. c. 18m E-W, c. 26m N-S. An oval area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall and a possible outer wall lower down the slope of the hill. Surviving sections of wall exist on the N and E sides up to .75m in height. It is situated on top of a clay covered rock outcrop in a commanding position over-looking an ancient routeway and the River Finn. The surrounding land is excellent. 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
