This small, roughly rectangular arrangement measures about 1.8 metres from north to south and 1.3 metres across, with upright stones carefully set into the ground marking three of its sides. The western edge remains a mystery, buried beneath a pile of dumped stones that obscures whatever original boundary might have existed there. First documented by Colhoun in 1949, who described it as a ‘multiple-chambered cairn’, the structure bears a resemblance to an ancient cist, though its true age and purpose remain frustratingly uncertain.

What makes this site particularly intriguing is the evidence that suggests it might not be as ancient as it first appears. Sharp-eyed observers have noticed what look like boreholes along the edges of two of the structural stones; telltale marks that point to modern quarrying techniques, possibly even blasting. These marks raise fascinating questions about whether the stones were repurposed from a nearby quarry, or if the entire structure might be a more recent creation than initially thought.

The site has been recorded in various archaeological surveys since the mid-20th century, including the Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland, though its classification remains ambiguous. Whether it’s a genuine prehistoric monument, a later historical structure, or something assembled in more recent times using ancient-looking materials, this unclassified cairn continues to be a small but persistent puzzle in Donegal’s rich archaeological landscape.
