This oval-shaped stone enclosure, catalogued as DG026-005001, sits towards the eastern end of an east-west ridge, surrounded by extensive rock outcrop and rough grazing land. The site offers commanding views across the bay, whilst good agricultural land lies at lower levels to the north, suggesting this location was carefully chosen by its original builders.

The cashel’s defensive wall can still be traced from the northwest to just east of south, though centuries of weathering have reduced it to modest proportions. Along the western side, where the wall follows the top edge of the rocky platform, it measures approximately 2.5 metres wide but stands no more than half a metre high. The probable entrance appears on the southern side, marked by a stone set perpendicular to the wall’s line, with a gap about one metre wide still visible. A modern field wall now runs along the eastern side of the site, built close to the top of the steep-edged platform.

At the heart of the cashel, low grassed-over stone walls outline what was likely a dwelling or hut. These foundations, barely 30 centimetres high and between two to three metres wide, represent the domestic centre of this fortified homestead. The site exemplifies the typical Irish cashel; a stone-walled enclosure that provided both protection and a statement of status for farming families during the early medieval period. This description draws from the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacey and colleagues in 1983, which documented the county’s field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century.
