The main feature consists of a small, circular structure measuring about 2 metres across its interior, likely the foundation of a modest hut where someone once lived. The stones that form its walls have long since tumbled, but the circular footprint remains clearly visible amongst the grass and heather.

Just to the north-west of this hut lies a more puzzling arrangement of rubble, forming a roughly rectangular scatter about 7 metres long and 4 metres wide. Whilst its original purpose remains uncertain, it may have served as an ancillary structure; perhaps a livestock enclosure, storage area, or even the collapsed remains of a larger building. The proximity of these two features suggests they were likely used together, painting a picture of a small farmstead or seasonal dwelling that once stood in this remote corner of Donegal.

This site was first properly recorded by archaeologist Paul Walsh in 1983, who included it in his survey of the area’s archaeological features. Though the exact age of these structures remains unknown without excavation, similar sites across the Irish countryside often date from the medieval period through to the 19th century, when rural communities lived in small, dispersed settlements throughout the hills and valleys of Donegal.
