A very much ploughed-out feature not previously marked on the OS 6-inch maps. The site consists of a low, almost circular, earthen mound c. 4.2m in diameter surrounded by a largely filled-up fosse and an exter-nal, almost ploughed out earthen bank. The latter is only .16m high. The overall diameter is 9m. There is a 2.3m gap in the bank opposite a causeway across the fosse on the E side. The site is located on marshy ground in an area of generally good pasture on a low E-W ridge on the Glencolumkille valley floor.
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.
