This roughly circular stone enclosure, measuring approximately 50 metres across, consists primarily of just the lowest course of a stone wall, with an earthen bank forming its eastern boundary. Time and weather have taken their toll on the structure; the outline frequently vanishes into the landscape, whilst the southern and southwestern sections show signs of later rebuilding attempts.

The interior of the cashel reveals several interesting features amongst the outcropping rocks. A modern trigonometrical station marker sits alongside what appears to be the foundation of a small hut on the northern side, measuring just 2 by 4 metres. This modest rectangular outline might represent the remains of a dwelling or storage structure used by the fort’s original inhabitants. The site’s strategic position on the hilltop would have offered excellent views across the surrounding countryside, making it an ideal defensive location.

Beyond the main enclosure to the northeast, a series of what may be ancient field walls extends towards the cashel, suggesting this was once part of a larger agricultural complex. These field boundaries hint at the broader settlement pattern and farming practices of the area’s early inhabitants. The site was first formally documented in the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacy and his team in 1983, which catalogued the county’s field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century.
