The oval stone enclosure, measuring 26 metres across from east to west, was once bounded by a substantial stone wall that has since collapsed in places. The southern section remains the most clearly defined, where the wall meets natural rock formations, whilst the northern side has tumbled down the natural slope over the centuries. At its eastern end, the wall forms a deteriorated arc of stones, with the external ground sitting at a noticeably lower level.

The interior of the cashel tells its own story of reuse and adaptation. A collection of large, roughly cut stones piled at the eastern end likely relates to a lime kiln that appeared on the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, suggesting the site found new purpose in more recent centuries. The internal space remains relatively level, sitting lower than the external ground to the south but elevated elsewhere. The surviving wall heights vary considerably; reaching up to one metre on the interior at the northern end, but standing just 30 centimetres at the eastern extremity.

This ringfort cashel occupies a commanding position along its east-west oriented ridge, overlooking the surrounding countryside. Like many such structures across Ireland, it would have served as a defended farmstead during the early medieval period, its stone walls providing both protection and status for its inhabitants. The site was documented as part of the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacey and colleagues in 1983, which catalogued field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century.
