This roughly circular enclosure, measuring about 20 metres across from north to south, appears on historic Ordnance Survey maps simply as ‘The Graveyard’. What remains today is a subcircular earthen bank, standing up to 1.25 metres high on the eastern side, whilst the western portion has been cut through by a modern road. The lush vegetation growing around the exterior suggests there may once have been a defensive ditch, or fosse, that has since filled with silt over the centuries.

The interior of this ancient site holds intriguing features that hint at its long history. A small circular mound rises in the northwestern section, possibly marking an important burial or serving some ceremonial purpose. Along the eastern bank, a hollow area has formed, though its original function remains unclear. About 100 metres to the west lies a holy well dedicated to St. Patrick, suggesting this area has held religious significance for many generations, perhaps bridging pre-Christian and Christian traditions in this corner of Donegal.

This description comes from the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, a comprehensive catalogue compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983, which documents field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century. The survey provides invaluable insights into sites like this burial ground, which might otherwise be overlooked as merely old field boundaries or forgotten corners of the landscape, when they actually represent centuries, if not millennia, of human activity and belief.
