Rich growth on the exterior may indicate a silted-up fosse. There is a small circular mound in the NW section of the interior and a hollow area on the E along the bank. There is a holy well (DG030-015-) dedicated to St. Patrick c. 100m to the W (Ó Muirgheasa No. 99). The site is located in cultivated land sloping E to Lough Foyle.
