This subrectangular enclosure measures approximately 28 metres from northeast to southwest and 37 metres from northwest to southeast. What remains today is a grass covered stone wall that has largely collapsed over the centuries, now standing just half a metre high but still impressively broad at up to 7 metres wide. The wall encloses the site on three sides, whilst the northeast side appears to have been bounded by what are now just scattered stones and a modern field wall, possibly the remnants of the original fourth wall.

The thick stone walls are typical of a cashel, the stone built version of a ringfort that would have served as a defended farmstead during the early medieval period, roughly between 500 and 1200 AD. These structures were home to farming families of relatively high status who could afford the labour intensive construction of stone fortifications rather than the more common earthen banks and ditches. Several gaps pierce the remaining walls, though centuries of collapse and agricultural activity have obscured which, if any, served as the original entrance.

The strategic positioning of this cashel, commanding views from its elevated position on the slope, would have provided both defensive advantages and a statement of status in the landscape. Like many of Donegal’s archaeological sites, this cashel forms part of a rich tapestry of ancient settlements that dot the county’s rugged terrain, offering glimpses into how communities lived and farmed these lands over a millennium ago.
