The site takes an irregular shape, with its northern, western, and southern boundaries marked by a half-metre drop in the field level, where traces of an old stone wall can still be detected. The eastern side features a more prominent curving earthen bank standing a metre high, which breaks off towards the south; possibly indicating where an entrance once stood.

Within the enclosure, several intriguing features catch the eye. A semi-circular mound with a central depression occupies part of the interior space, whilst a second circular mound of stones may represent nothing more than a field clearance cairn, where farmers once piled stones removed from their fields. Various other irregular and indistinct features dot the internal area, their original purposes now lost to time. Among the discoveries at the site was a small bullaun stone, measuring just 21cm by 20cm, with a central depression 17cm across and 25mm deep; these portable stone basins were commonly used for grinding grain or herbs, or possibly held water for ritual purposes.

The archaeological survey that documented these features forms part of County Donegal’s comprehensive field antiquities record, cataloguing sites from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century. Originally compiled in 1983 by Brian Lacey and his team of archaeologists, the survey continues to be revised and updated as new information comes to light, ensuring these glimpses into Ireland’s past remain accessible for future generations.
