The 2nd edition shows it as a single-ringed enclosure, whilst the 3rd edition depicts it as a roughly circular field. Today, visitors to this spot on the sloping pastureland will find little more than a modern stone field wall enclosing an area roughly 20 to 22 metres across, with no visible archaeological remains to hint at its former significance.

The enclosure sits on rough grazing ground that slopes down towards a stream running a short distance to the south. Its position, overlooking the water, follows a pattern common to many ancient Irish settlements and fortifications, which often chose locations with good visibility and access to fresh water. Whilst the physical traces have vanished, the site’s appearance on multiple editions of the OS maps suggests it was once considered significant enough to warrant careful documentation by surveyors.

This description comes from the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, a comprehensive catalogue compiled in 1983 by Brian Lacey and his team of archaeologists. The survey documented field antiquities across the county, spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, creating an invaluable record of sites that might otherwise be forgotten as their physical remains continue to fade from the landscape.
