Though no trace of the circular enclosure appears on early Ordnance Survey maps from the area, the site’s characteristics tell a compelling story. The monument stood remarkably close to another known cashel, surrounded by the same wet, rushy land that typifies much of this part of Donegal.

What makes this particular site intriguing is the evidence that remains visible today. Massive stone field walls, far more substantial than typical agricultural boundaries, mark the area alongside scattered loose stones; telltale signs of a collapsed or dismantled defensive structure. These cashels, built primarily between the early medieval period and the 17th century, served as fortified homesteads for farming families, offering protection for both people and livestock in uncertain times.

The site was documented as part of the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, conducted by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983. This survey catalogued field antiquities spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, providing invaluable records of monuments that might otherwise be lost to memory. While this particular cashel may no longer stand as it once did, its remnants continue to mark the landscape, a subtle reminder of the generations who lived, worked, and sought safety within its stone walls.
