What survives today is the eastern half of what was once a circular platform, standing about a metre high with a diameter of roughly 20 metres. The western portion fell victim to road widening at some point, leaving behind a semicircular monument that still commands attention on its gentle westward slope.

The platform’s construction reveals the careful work of its builders; large stones form a revetment around its edges, essentially creating a stone wall that prevents the earthen mound from eroding or collapsing. The flat top of the platform is scattered with additional stones, though whether these were part of the original design or accumulated over centuries of use and neglect remains unclear. This type of raised burial platform was a common feature in ancient Ireland, serving as both a practical solution for interment and a visible marker of respect for the deceased.

Archaeological surveys conducted in the early 1980s documented this site as part of a comprehensive catalogue of Donegal’s field antiquities, tracing human activity in the region from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century. While much of the burial ground’s specific history remains unrecorded, its survival, even in partial form, provides valuable evidence of how prehistoric and early historic communities in this part of Ireland approached death and commemoration.
