The National Monuments Service's description
Situated to the W of Mountseskin Road. Marked on the current 1937 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure, truncated along the N by a field boundary (diam. c. 30m). According to Ua Broin (1957, 46) this area was called 'Carraig na ffiach'. Part of the site was demolished during field division in the 19th century. Not visible at ground level (Healy 1975, 1-19).
