Internal diam. c. 27m. A subcircular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall. The wall which survives to a height of .45m was probably originally c. 1.5m wide but now spills out as much as 8.4m. A gap in the wall in the NW sector is the most likely place for the entrance. A field bound-ary runs through the centre of the site N-S and stone walls or causeways run up to the cashel wall to the E and W. These could represent remains of an associ-ated field system. The interior slopes unevenly from N to S and loose stones could represent the remains of destroyed structures. It is situated on a rocky plateau with steep drops on most sides.
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.
