The site consists of an earthen bank that once formed a complete enclosure, though time and agriculture have left several gaps in its perimeter; no clear original entrance can now be identified. The interior bank stands between 0.75 and 1.5 metres high, varying as you walk around the circuit.

What makes this particular ringfort interesting is the evidence of additional defensive features that survive in places. Along the northwest side, keen eyes can spot the faint traces of what was once an outer bank, whilst the eastern side preserves something more substantial: both a fosse, or defensive ditch, and an outer bank remain visible. This double banking system suggests the site may have held some importance, as most simple ringforts made do with a single enclosing bank.

The ringfort occupies a strategic position on the landscape, with views southeast across Lough Foyle whilst being sheltered by higher ground to the northwest. Today it sits quietly in well maintained farmland, a reminder of Ireland’s early medieval period when such fortified farmsteads dotted the countryside. These structures, known locally as raths, typically date from roughly 500 to 1000 AD and served as defended homesteads for farming families of moderate prosperity.
