The site consists of a circular area surrounded by what was once a stone wall, now completely collapsed. A gap measuring 1.6 metres wide on the southeastern side provides access to the interior, whilst a curious depression running along the wall’s collapsed centre from this entrance to just north of east hints at what may have been a passage built within the wall itself.

Within this enclosure, several intriguing features tell the story of past habitation. The southwestern section contains a rectangular structure, its boundaries still visible through the tumbled stones, measuring approximately 3.1 metres by 2 metres internally. In the northeastern area stands a small cairn, rising to just over half a metre in height. Perhaps most fascinating is the souterrain found in the northern half of the site; a type of underground passage common in early medieval Ireland. Though much of its stone was robbed for local building projects over the centuries, a short stretch of the subterranean passage survives, along with a substantial depression measuring 16 metres long and 2.6 metres wide that marks its former course.

The souterrain appears to have extended beneath the enclosing wall at its northwestern end, suggesting this underground feature may have provided a concealed entrance or storage area for the settlement’s inhabitants. Set amidst fair to good pasture land, this site offers a tangible connection to Donegal’s rich archaeological heritage, preserving the footprint of a community that once called this ridge home, likely during the early medieval period when such fortified farmsteads were common throughout Ireland.
