The rectangular stone foundation measures 90cm by 90cm and extends roughly 90cm southward from the wall’s northern edge, positioned about 6.5 metres west of the corner that sits opposite the entrance to a nearby structure known as House 2. This modest but significant feature forms part of a larger complex of early Christian remains that have drawn scholarly attention to this remote Donegal location.

The leacht’s construction shows careful planning typical of medieval Irish stonework. Among its features is a broken piece of schist stone marked with a distinctive U-shaped notch along its edge. Archaeological analysis suggests this notched stone likely served as a base designed to support an upright slab, similar to the arrangement found on the roof of the site’s well-house. Though the stone may have shifted from its original position over the centuries, its purpose remains clear; it would have helped secure and display a cross-slab that still remains associated with the monument.

This particular leacht gained renewed archaeological interest through the work of researcher Herity, who documented its features in 1995, noting its relationship to the surrounding structures and its role within the broader monastic landscape. The presence of the cross-slab within the leacht marks it as a devotional monument, possibly commemorating a significant individual or serving as a station for prayer within the monastic enclosure. Such monuments offer tangible links to Ireland’s early Christian heritage, when small religious communities dotted the landscape and left behind these enduring stone testimonies to their faith and craftsmanship.
