A subcircular area enclosed by a completely collapsed stone wall. There is a 1.6m gap through the collapse to the SE. From the gap to just N of E there is a depression along the centre of the wall collapse possibly indicating a mural passage. In the SW quadrant there is a rectangular structure formed of collapsed stone wall, 3.1m NW-SE × 2m NE-SW, internally. In the NE quadrant is a cairn (DG064-014004-) 3.5m NE-SW 2.5m NW-SE and 0.57m in height. There is the remains of a Man-made underground passage (DG064-014002-) in the N half of the site consisting of a short stretch of underground passage and a depression 16m NW-SE × 2.6m. The stones from this were robbed for local building purposes. The NW end of the Man-made underground passage may have continued under the enclosing wall. The site is located in fair to good pasture on the crest of a NW-SE ridge. 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG064-014003
