The main feature is a cashel, a circular stone enclosure measuring nearly 26 metres across, which protected at least two dwelling sites within its walls. Though time and weather have taken their toll, leaving only the foundations visible as low earth and stone banks about 40 centimetres high, careful observation reveals the original construction technique: upright stones still mark where the inner and outer faces of the defensive wall once stood, now mostly buried beneath centuries of accumulated soil and vegetation.

The principal hut site occupies the southwestern section of the enclosure, its roughly square chamber measuring about 6 metres on each side with walls that survive as grass-covered banks just over a metre thick. A narrow entrance gap on the east-northeast side, marked by a single standing stone, would have provided access to this dwelling. Unfortunately, a second hut site immediately to the north has become completely overgrown with briars, making detailed examination impossible. Faint traces suggest two smaller structures, possibly animal pens or storage buildings, were constructed against the inner face of the cashel wall in the eastern and northern sections of the enclosure.

This monument doesn’t stand alone in the landscape; it forms part of a cluster of four similar sites in close proximity, with another hut site visible just 45 metres to the south. The entire complex sits within an extensive ancient field system, suggesting this was once a thriving agricultural community. While the preservation is poor, with only foundation walls and earthworks remaining, the site offers a tangible connection to the people who once called this windswept corner of Donegal home, likely dating back to the early medieval period when such cashels were common defensive homesteads throughout Ireland’s Atlantic coastline.
