The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on an elevation c. 400m to the W of the Flesk River. This possible rath is indicated as a five-sided enclosure (c. 20m N-S; c. 20m E-W) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map and as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m), open at N, on the 1893-4 OS 6-inch map. It is now evident as a slight rise.
