Description
Internal diam. 23m. An oval space enclosed by a stone wall now collapsed. On the NW side a stretch of wall with both inner and outer facing is 1.8m wide and survives up to 1m in height. The interior slopes from N to S and less so from E to W. A hollow in the ground to the S may be the remains of a well. It is located on a S-facing slope, now wooded and obscuring extensive views. There is much rock outcrop including a higher ridge to the N. Good grazing exists on lower ground N and 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.'
