This ancient ringfort, measuring approximately 16 metres in internal diameter, consists of a much collapsed stone wall that once formed a complete defensive circle. The wall face remains visible on the northern side and briefly on the southeast, whilst elsewhere its course can be traced through the tumbled stones that mark its former path. The eastern side presents a massive heap of collapsed stonework that obscures most of the original structure, save for a short visible stretch between the east and southeast. Notably, the western edge, where the land drops away in an almost sheer cliff, shows no trace of wall or collapse; perhaps the natural defence made fortification unnecessary here.

The cashel’s defences appear to have extended beyond the main wall. About nine metres outside the northern section, downhill from the primary fortification, a setting of large blocks placed on edge creates a secondary face roughly ten metres long. This outer defence spans what would have been a natural route approaching the cashel from below, connecting jutting rock outcrops at either end to form an additional barrier. At the southeastern edge of the collapse zone, another two to three metre stretch of wall face emerges from the rubble, though its exact purpose and extent remain hidden beneath the fallen stones.

The interior space, partially grass covered and uneven with exposed rock outcrops particularly in the southern half, reflects centuries of abandonment and natural reclamation. A low heap of stones about four metres across may represent the remains of a trigonometrical station from more recent surveying work. The site’s commanding position offers strategic views in all directions; steep slopes fall away to the south, a gentler incline leads north, whilst the western edge presents that dramatic cliff face. This elevated position would have provided the cashel’s inhabitants with both defensive advantages and sweeping views across the surrounding landscape, making it an ideal location for monitoring movement across this part of ancient Donegal.
