Internal diam. 22m. A circular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall in which some stretches of original wall facing are visi-ble. 6m to 9m from the wall a second line of stones may have been an outer wall or revetment. In places the original inner wall width can be seen to have been 3m. Modern field walls have been built on the col-lapse at the SE and NW. At the SW, modern circular clearings have been made in the collapse. There is a lot of collapse internally also. The outer stone wall .5m to 1m in height on its N side seems to revet an artificially raised levelled area stretching to the inner wall. A gap to the E through the wall may be an original entrance. It is located in a commanding position overlooking Sheep Haven Bay in an area of rough grazing and rock outcrop. 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.'

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
