This circular earthwork, measuring approximately 27 metres across internally, rises up to 2.2 metres above the adjacent ground level. Though time has worn away much of its original features, careful observation reveals faint traces of what was once an internal bank that would have formed part of the fort's defensive structure.

The southern half of the site presents an intriguing puzzle for archaeologists. Here, both an outer fosse (defensive ditch) and an outer bank are visible, though their origins remain uncertain. These features connect with nearby field boundaries to the north, suggesting they might be later additions from more recent agricultural activity rather than original elements of the ringfort. Such modifications are common at ancient sites across Ireland, where centuries of farming have often altered or obscured original archaeological features.

Today, the ringfort stands in fair pasture, its elevated position a reminder of why this location was chosen by its builders. These circular fortified settlements, known as raths, were typically constructed between the early medieval period and the 17th century, serving as defended homesteads for farming families. The site was documented as part of the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983, which catalogued field antiquities from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century.
