This oblong site, measuring roughly 32 by 21 metres, is bounded by a substantial wall over a metre and a half wide, with a laneway running along its southeastern edge and a small rock cliff forming its northwestern boundary. The enclosure contains seven small cairns at its northeastern end, each telling its own story of ancient ritual and belief.

The most remarkable of these cairns stands just over a metre high and bears fascinating evidence of folk healing traditions. Atop this subcircular mound sit two stone slabs, each carved with distinctive U-shaped notches that once held a dumbbell-shaped ‘healing stone’, according to 19th-century accounts. The cairn also supports an intricately decorated cross slab, carved on both faces with Greek bar crosses, circles, and geometric patterns; a testament to early Christian artistry in the region. Along the cliff face, a curious D-shaped projection of dressed rock forms what locals call St. Conall’s bed, a seat-like feature that adds to the site’s mystical character.

The sacred landscape extends beyond the enclosure walls to include St. Conall’s holy well, surrounded by its own penitential cairn containing a triangular stone with yet another U-notch. Historical records note that a bullaun stone, likely used as a primitive font, was removed from the site in the 1800s. Perhaps most poignantly, this hallowed ground served as a cillín, a burial place for unbaptised children, well into the 19th century; a practice that speaks to the enduring spiritual significance of this place, also known locally as Bruckless. Today, the site stands as a remarkable palimpsest of Irish religious tradition, from pre-Christian healing rituals through early Christianity to more recent folk Catholic practices.
