This oval-shaped rath measures approximately 25.3 metres from northeast to southwest and 18.85 metres from northwest to southeast internally. What survives today is an earthen bank, now largely destroyed but still reaching heights of up to 33 centimetres on the eastern side, accompanied by a silted-up fosse that varies between 2 and 2.9 metres in width. The western portion of the monument, running from west-northwest to south-southwest, has been absorbed into the modern landscape, with both bank and fosse incorporated into a contemporary field boundary.

The ringfort occupies a strategic position on the south-southeastern shoulder of a drumlin that runs from west-southwest to east-northeast, surrounded by pasture land that ranges from fair to marshy conditions. This type of defensive farmstead was once common across the Irish countryside, typically dating from the early medieval period between roughly 500 and 1200 AD. The oval shape and modest dimensions suggest this was likely home to a farming family of moderate status, who would have lived within the protective enclosure alongside their livestock and agricultural stores.

Though time and agriculture have taken their toll on this particular monument, it remains an important piece of Donegal’s archaeological heritage. The site was documented in the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983, which catalogued field antiquities spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century. Like thousands of similar sites scattered across Ireland, this rath serves as a tangible link to the everyday lives of medieval Irish communities, marking the landscape with traces of settlements that once dotted the countryside.
