Internal diam. 26.75m NW-SE, 28.6m NE-SW. A subcircular area enclosed by an earthen bank up to .6m high on the W side where it is better preserved. There is some slight evidence for a fosse all around the site. A gap to the W appears to be modern. The site is located at the base of a drumlin on flat ground and fair pasture close to the coast. 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).

Marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps as 'Friar's Well'. The site cannot now be pin-pointed. It was located at the base of a schist cliff along the coast.

A promontory c. 34m wide × c. 130m long is defined at its eastern end by three earthen banks with two intervening fosses. These are roughly bisected by gaps in the banks and raised areas across the line of the fosses. The internal bank, which is by far the most substantial of the three, survives up to 3.6m in height on the interior. The promontory is surrounded by a wave-cut, rock platform covered at high tide. The promontory consists of a deep cover of soil on schist. The rock is constantly being eroded. The surrounding land is fairly good. 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).

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.
