What remains today is the eastern half of what was once a circular enclosure, its collapsed stone wall having been partially rebuilt to stand about a metre high in places. The western portion of the circle is now merely suggested by a semicircular scatter of stones, leaving visitors to imagine the site’s original form.

The interior of this old burial ground presents an uneven landscape, dotted with clusters of stones that bear witness to centuries of use as a community resting place. These stone groupings, irregular and weathered, are the result of generations of burials that took place within this consecrated space. The site occupies a gentle, south-facing slope, where the wet conditions have encouraged rushes to grow thick around the ancient stones, creating an atmosphere that feels both melancholic and timeless.

This archaeological site forms part of County Donegal’s rich tapestry of field antiquities, documented in the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, which catalogues the county’s historical remains from the Mesolithic Period through to the 17th century. The survey, compiled by Brian Lacey and his team of archaeologists in 1983, provides crucial documentation of sites like this burial ground, ensuring that even as these places slowly return to the earth, their stories and significance are preserved for future generations to discover and understand.
