This modest monument, measuring approximately 5.5 metres in internal diameter, consists of a circular area enclosed by a fosse (a defensive ditch) with an external bank running around its perimeter. A single causeway on the eastern side provides access to the interior, cutting through the earthwork like an ancient doorway.

The barrow occupies a pleasant spot on a ridge surrounded by good grazing land, suggesting our ancestors chose this location with care. What makes this site particularly intriguing is that it’s not alone; a similar ring barrow (catalogued as DG107-096) can be found nearby, hinting at the possibility that this area held special significance for the communities who constructed these monuments. Ring barrows like this one typically date from the Bronze Age and were often used for burial purposes, though their exact function can vary.

The site was documented as part of the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983. This survey catalogued field antiquities spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, providing invaluable documentation of Donegal’s rich archaeological heritage. A photograph from 2008 shows the barrow viewed from the east, with a ranging rod marking the position of the causeway entrance, helping visitors understand the monument’s layout and scale.
