The site presents itself as an irregular patch of rises and hollows, scattered with stones that stand on edge like ancient sentinels. These weathered markers stretch across roughly 13 metres from north to south and 20 metres from east to west, creating a poignant reminder of the community that once laid their dead to rest here.

The arrangement of stones tells a subtle story about the cemetery’s original layout. Whilst most appear to be grave markers, five stones along the southern boundary hint at something more structured; possibly the remnants of a perimeter wall that once defined this sacred space. The exact number of burials remains uncertain, as the passage of time has blurred the distinction between deliberate placement and natural stone scatter across this level stretch of land.

Today, the site continues to serve a practical purpose, providing grazing land amongst the rocky outcrops that characterise this corner of Donegal. The information about this burial ground comes from the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled in 1983 by Brian Lacey and his team of archaeologists. Their meticulous work documented field antiquities spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, ensuring that places like this humble graveyard aren’t forgotten in the landscape of Irish history.
