Platform Diam. 21.4m N-S, 23.1m E-W. Known locally as Dunmurney. A cliff edge bounds this site on the northerly side. An earthen platform up to 1.2m in height lies S of the cliff edge. An earthen bank surrounds the platform on all sides except the N at a distance from 6m to 10m. On the NW and NE this bank runs to the cliff edge. The bank varies from .2m to .4m in height and in width from 2.3m to 4.7m. There is some evidence for a possible fosse on the S side of the site outside the bank. The site is located on a prominent rise in undulating terrain of poor to fair pasture land. It overlooks an old roadway from Killybegs to Bavan to the N.
