The site consists of a subcircular stone enclosure, roughly 18.3 metres in internal diameter, with walls that were originally about 1.4 metres thick. Though time has worn away much of the structure, sections of both internal and external wall facing remain visible, and there’s a distinctive semicircular kink in the eastern wall that appears to be an original architectural feature. A 2.3 metre gap in the southern wall provides the main entrance to this ancient sacred space.

At the heart of the enclosure lie the ruins of St. Columbkille’s Chapel, a small church measuring 5.75 metres north to south and 3.4 metres east to west internally. Built with mortared slab stones and ashlar quoins that survive particularly well on the northeast corner, the chapel’s walls stand 75 centimetres thick. The eastern wall contains a central doorway surrounded by rebuilt cut stones, whilst the northeast corner houses a curious feature known as St. Columbkille’s Bed; two horizontal slabs bounded on the south by three standing stones. Above this ‘bed’, a small alcove has been carved into the wall, measuring 35 by 20 centimetres and extending 35 centimetres deep, which plays a role in the traditional pilgrimage circuit, or turas, associated with the saint.

Scattered throughout the enclosure are several cairns topped with cross slabs, creating a landscape of devotional monuments. The largest cairn, measuring 4.3 by 2.9 metres and standing 85 centimetres high, sits against the southeastern interior wall and bears two cross slabs; one standing 72 centimetres tall with faint geometric designs between its arms, and another smaller slab inscribed with a cross and possible additional motifs. A second cairn to the northeast supports a slab carved with a simple cross on its western face, whilst a third cairn to the south stands without any cross slab. Perhaps most intriguing is a mound outside the enclosure’s eastern edge, topped with a natural boulder known as Leac Na mBonn, or ‘flagstone of the footsoles’. This stone bears an incised cross within a circle, its arms extending just beyond the circumference to terminate in distinctive T bars, adding another layer of Christian symbolism to this multifaceted holy site.
