The fortification, known locally as a rath, measures approximately 40 metres by 20 metres internally and takes on a distinctive D-shaped form. Its defensive features remain clearly visible today: an earthen bank encircles the site, accompanied by a fosse (defensive ditch) and an outer bank, though vegetation has reclaimed portions of these ancient earthworks over the centuries.

The interior of the enclosure reveals intriguing architectural details that hint at its former use. Towards the northeast, visitors can discern a slight platform rising from the ground level, with a curious depression at its centre; possibly the remains of a dwelling or storage structure that once stood within the protective walls. The fort’s strategic positioning is immediately apparent, with commanding views across the sea to the northwest whilst a valley to the southeast ascends towards the cliff face, creating a naturally defensible location that would have appealed to its original builders.

Today, the site sits peacefully in good pasture land, its ancient banks and ditches now softened by time and weather. This ringfort represents one of thousands scattered across the Irish landscape, each one a testament to the communities that once lived, worked, and sought protection within their earthen walls during Ireland’s turbulent medieval period. The site was documented as part of the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, conducted in 1983, which catalogued field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century.
