  Description

  Internal diam. 35m NW-SE, 27m NE-SW. An almost oval area enclosed by an earthen bank, a fosse and an outer bank. The inner bank which survives in places up to 2.5m in height is composed of earth and stone and appears to have been internally revetted. The outer bank which is also composed of earth and stone seems to have been faced with stone on the exterior and interior. A gap in both banks to the SE probably indicates the entrance. The interior slopes in line with the hill from NE to SW and there is clear evidence of cultivation. The site is much overgrown and interfered with by animals. It is situated on the SW slope of Gregory Hill in poor marshy land. 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.'
