What is recorded here
Only the W section of the stone wall of this cashel survives for a length of 22m. The wall incorporates rock outcrop which probably was exploited in other sections of the wall no longer surviving. Three upright stones seem to mark an entrance at the S. It is situated on a rocky knoll with a commanding view.
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.
