This oblong enclosure, measuring roughly 32 metres by 21 metres, is bounded by substantial stone walls over a metre and a half wide. The site makes clever use of the natural landscape, with its northwest edge running along the top of a small rock cliff whilst a traditional laneway marks its southeastern boundary.

The northeast corner of the enclosure contains seven small cairns, with one particularly notable example standing out from the rest. This subcircular cairn, rising just over a metre in height, bears several remarkable features on its summit. Two stone slabs with carefully carved U-shaped notches rest atop the cairn; according to local historian Patterson’s 1870s account, these notches once held a dumbbell-shaped ‘healing stone’ when not in use by pilgrims. Also crowning the cairn is an intricately decorated cross slab, carved on both faces with Greek bar crosses, circles, and geometric patterns that speak to the site’s long Christian heritage. Along the cliff face, an unusual D-shaped projection of dressed rock forms what’s known as St. Conall’s bed, a seat-like feature that has drawn pilgrims for centuries.

The site’s religious significance extends beyond the enclosure itself to include St. Conall’s holy well nearby, which is surrounded by its own penitential cairn containing a triangular stone with yet another U-notch. Whilst a bullaun stone, described by Patterson as a ‘primitive font’, was unfortunately removed from the site in the 19th century, the Relig continued to serve the local community well into recent history as a burial ground for unbaptised children. Today, this remarkable complex stands as a testament to centuries of folk belief and religious practice, where pre-Christian traditions merged seamlessly with early Irish Christianity.
