An old roadway which can be traced at a number of points over a distance of a little in excess of one mile. The road was originally paved with stone but is now completely overgrown. It is 2.5m to 3m in width. It is located in an area of fairly poor pasture. Some sections of this roadway are shown on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map and other short sections can be traced. Four trenches were opened on the site of a small food-smoking facility (NGR 19896/39699) in the townland of Falgarrow by Mary Henry of Mary Henry Archaeological Services Ltd under licence No. 07E0535. The site is located just to the south of an archaeological monument classified as a road. Both the monument and the development site are set within a coniferous forest. Nothing of archaeological provenance was discovered in any of the test-trenches (Bennett 2010, 78). 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.'

No trace of the single-ringed enclosure now survives above ground. It is not clear from conflicting local reports as to whether it was an earthen or stone enclosure. It was situated on a grassy hillock N of the Reelan River surrounded by marshy poor land. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
