The structure consists of a roughly circular area surrounded by a substantial stone wall, measuring between 2.8 and 3.15 metres in width. Whilst time and weather have taken their toll, causing sections to collapse, significant portions of both the inner and outer wall faces remain visible, reaching heights of up to 1.6 metres. The outer face is best preserved along the northwestern section, whilst the inner face survives most intact in the southern half. A single entrance, positioned just south of east, breaks the circuit of the wall; it measures 2.1 metres wide on the inside, with two stones set on edge marking the external boundaries of this gap, placed 2.7 metres apart.

The interior of the enclosure reveals an intriguing layout, with the ground rising between 2 and 5 metres from the wall edge to create a raised platform effect, reaching up to 2 metres high in places. At the centre of this elevated area, archaeologists have identified what appears to be the western half of a low, stone-faced scarp approximately 12 metres in diameter, possibly representing an internal structure. Additional protruding stones scattered throughout the vegetation-covered interior hint at further structures that may once have stood within the enclosure. The site’s defensive advantages are clear; it occupies a naturally protected position with a sheer drop to the west and a marked slope to the south, all situated on light soil with frequent rock outcrops.

Today, ruined field walls extend from the outer face of the enclosure into what is now forested land, though originally the site would have commanded extensive views, particularly northward and westward towards the bay just 200 metres away. The archaeological record suggests this may have been a fortified homestead or defensive structure, taking full advantage of the natural topography to create a secure dwelling place. The site was officially recorded as part of the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal in 1983, providing valuable insight into the prehistoric and early historic settlement patterns of this coastal region.
