The site consists of two circular stone foundations connected by a wall, creating what would have been a substantial dwelling or structure. The larger foundation measures 6.4 metres across, whilst a stone wall extends 10.2 metres south from it to connect with a smaller circular foundation of 4.4 metres in diameter.

This intriguing archaeological feature sits in a landscape rich with prehistoric monuments. Just to the east, a wedge tomb stands as a neighbour to these stone foundations, suggesting this area held significance for ancient communities over extended periods. The presence of additional walls and features scattered throughout the vicinity, documented by M.R. Colhoun, indicates this wasn’t an isolated structure but rather part of a broader settlement or activity area.

The site was formally recorded as part of the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, a comprehensive project completed in 1983 that catalogued the county’s archaeological heritage from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century. Whilst the exact age and purpose of these circular foundations remain uncertain, their construction method and mountainous location are typical of prehistoric hut sites found throughout Ireland’s Atlantic coast, where communities built sturdy stone dwellings to withstand the harsh coastal weather whilst making use of the abundant local stone.
