This early ecclesiastical site, catalogued as DG064-018001, sits amongst rocky outcrops on undulating ground, with Martin’s Lough visible just to the south-southeast. The eastern half of the enclosure is bounded by a combination of wall and stream, whilst the remaining perimeter consists of a grassed-over drystone wall that has weathered centuries of Atlantic winds.

The interior of the enclosure reveals a complex layout of low dividing walls, suggesting the site once housed multiple areas for different purposes; perhaps separating living quarters from areas of worship or work. Of particular interest are the foundations of two subcircular structures in the southwestern sector, designated DG064-018002 and DG064-018003. The southern building appears to have had its entrance facing south-southeast, whilst its northern neighbour opened to the northeast, indicating careful consideration of orientation, possibly for religious or practical reasons.

This site represents one of many early ecclesiastical enclosures scattered throughout Donegal, offering a tangible link to Ireland’s early Christian period. The presence of multiple structures and internal divisions suggests this was more than a simple hermitage; it may have served as a small monastic community where religious life intertwined with daily agricultural activities. The detailed archaeological survey work carried out by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983 has ensured that sites like this one at Kilclooney More continue to inform our understanding of early medieval Irish religious life.
