  Description

  The 'Fort' and 'Cave' or souterrain marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps are no longer visible. A curious slab-built structure close to the blocked-up entrance of the souterrain still survives but is partly collapsed. In an earlier description (Kin-ahan 1889) it was claimed that this was the above ground entrance to the souterrain. It gave onto a 2ft square perpendicular shaft which dropped to a 2ft 6in wide and 3ft high passage partly rock-cut and partly stone-walled. This led into a good-sized rectangular rock-cut chamber with a flag-stone roof. These features lay in the S lower half of an irregular shaped rock platform which is located close to good pasture but overlooked by higher ground to the S. 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).
