The site consists of a subcircular enclosure, measuring approximately 18 metres east to west and 15 metres north to south, defined by a low earthen bank that has weathered centuries of Atlantic winds. Within this protective boundary, visitors can find several intriguing features: a cross-inscribed stone, what appears to be a broken cross, and a small stone cross, alongside the traces of a rectangular foundation measuring roughly 5.5 by 4 metres, oriented along an east-west axis as was customary for early Christian structures.

Just west of the main enclosure, positioned dramatically at the edge of a natural rock platform, stand the remains of two additional foundations. One appears to be circular in plan, whilst another rectangular structure sits to its north. Further archaeological traces can be found northeast of these ruins, where two more possible foundation remains hint at a once more extensive settlement. The careful positioning of these structures suggests this was more than a simple burial ground; it may have served as a small monastic settlement or ecclesiastical community.

The location itself is striking, occupying a relatively flat platform amidst the rough, rocky terrain that characterises this part of Donegal’s coastline. From here, the views stretch along the coast, offering the same vistas that would have greeted the site’s original inhabitants over a thousand years ago. The combination of religious monuments, domestic structures, and defensive earthworks paints a picture of a self-contained religious community, likely dating from the early medieval period when such sites dotted the Irish landscape, serving as centres of worship, learning, and refuge in an often turbulent world.
