This circular platform measures between 25 and 30 metres across and rises about 2 metres at its highest point, forming what looks like an inverted saucer against the low-lying landscape. First recorded on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map as a single-ringed enclosure, the site remains something of an enigma; experts can't definitively say whether it's entirely artificial, completely natural, or perhaps a clever combination of both, with ancient builders taking advantage of existing topography to create their structure.

Local tradition holds that a souterrain, one of those underground passages so characteristic of early medieval Ireland, exists somewhere within or beneath the mound, though no trace of it is visible today. The ringfort's position is intriguing, situated on low ground rather than the defensive hilltop locations typically favoured for such structures. Today, an artificially created body of water called New Lake extends almost to the southern base of the mound, though this is a later addition to the landscape rather than an original feature.

The site continues to serve a practical purpose in modern times, with good grazing land surrounding the ancient earthwork. Whether it once protected a farmstead, served as a ceremonial site, or fulfilled some other function in Ireland's distant past remains unknown. What is certain is that this unclassified ringfort represents yet another tantalising piece of Donegal's archaeological puzzle, documented by Brian Lacey and his team during their comprehensive survey of the county's field antiquities in 1983.
