This oval earthwork measures approximately 31.5 metres north to south and stretches 37.5 metres from northeast to southwest. The northern boundary consists of an earthen bank standing 2 metres high, accompanied by an external fosse, or defensive ditch, that runs 3 metres wide. On the southern side, the fort takes advantage of the natural topography; here, the ground has been artificially raised to create a steep platform edge reaching heights of up to 5 metres.

The fort’s interior slopes gently from north to south, following the natural contours of the land beneath. Two substantial stones remain visible on the inner face of the northern bank, suggesting the earthwork was originally reinforced with stone facing, a construction technique that would have made the fortification considerably more formidable. The original entrance appears to have been through a 2 metre wide gap in the northern bank, notably lacking the defensive fosse that characterises the rest of the perimeter, making this the most likely point of access for the fort’s inhabitants.

Today, the site has been somewhat altered by modern use; part of the ancient fosse now serves as a trackway, whilst bushes have colonised much of the land. Despite these changes, the ringfort remains an evocative reminder of early medieval settlement patterns in Donegal, when such fortified homesteads dotted the Irish countryside, serving as centres of farming, craftsmanship, and local authority.
