The circular stone fortification measures approximately 20 metres in internal diameter, with its substantial wall still clearly visible along much of its perimeter. The wall, which reaches 2.5 metres in width where measured on the southwest side, can be traced from south-southeast to south and from southwest to north, though time and weather have taken their toll on certain sections.

The construction technique reveals the skill of its builders, with the outer face assembled from large stone blocks that survive up to two courses high in places, reaching about one metre in height. Whilst the outer wall face remains largely intact with only minor gaps, the inner face is far less preserved, visible only in brief stretches along the southwestern section. The defensive structure would have provided protection for a small community, likely engaged in pastoral farming on this elevated site.

Today, the cashel’s interior presents a rough, uneven surface punctuated by natural rock outcroppings, whilst modern field walls now cross through the ancient site. The land remains suitable for grazing despite being rather wet and rocky, much as it would have been when the cashel’s original inhabitants kept their livestock here centuries ago. This monument forms part of County Donegal’s rich archaeological heritage, documented in the comprehensive county survey compiled by Brian Lacey and his colleagues in 1983.
