While its companion fort below still bears traces visible to archaeologists, this elevated fortification has left no physical evidence of its existence. The only record of it appears as a single ring marking on early Ordnance Survey maps, suggesting it was already disappearing when Victorian cartographers first surveyed the area.

The fort’s strategic position overlooking Dundrean Fort indicates it likely served as part of a defensive network in the region. These ringforts, which dotted the Irish countryside from the early medieval period onwards, were typically circular earthen enclosures that housed farming families and their livestock. The fact that this particular fort occupied higher ground suggests it may have served as a lookout post or held some strategic importance for monitoring the surrounding pastureland and approaches to Dundrean below.

Today, the site exists only as pastoral farmland, with no visible remains to mark where the fort once stood. Its story is preserved solely through historical documentation, particularly the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal compiled in 1983, which noted its absence from the landscape even then. This phantom fort serves as a reminder of how many archaeological sites have been lost to time, agriculture, and development; their existence known only through old maps and survey records.
