The site occupies prime agricultural land that slopes gently towards Lough Foyle to the east, and consists of a sub-rectangular graveyard containing several significant archaeological features. Just outside the western entrance to the cemetery stands a tall, undecorated ringed high cross, rising 2.8 metres into the Donegal sky. This plain stone monument, with arms spanning 80 centimetres, sits in an irregular base and features a curious asymmetrically placed hole in its upper limb, above the ring level.

Inside the graveyard walls, visitors can explore the remains of two churches and what appears to be a mortuary house or tomb shrine. One of these churches served the local community as a medieval parish church, continuing the site’s religious significance well beyond its early Christian origins. The high cross itself presents something of a mystery to archaeologists; its complete lack of decorative carving makes it impossible to date with any certainty, though its form and context suggest it belongs to Ireland’s rich tradition of monumental stone crosses.

The site represents a fascinating glimpse into Ireland’s layered religious history, from its possibly Patrician origins through its medieval parish life. While the cross may appear austere compared to the elaborate Celtic crosses found elsewhere in Ireland, its stark simplicity and commanding presence outside the cemetery gates have made it a landmark in the Donegal landscape for centuries. The shaft, which unusually expands slightly as it rises, measures 39 centimetres wide and 17 centimetres thick at its base, standing as a testament to the skilled stonework of Ireland’s early Christian craftsmen.
