Cnoc an Rath, or Tom en Raw, consists of an irregular earthen circle, 91ft by 88ft in diameter, and a 10ft deep ditch. It is surrounded by a stone wall, built by Lord Bannatyne, and planted with firs, among which is the tomb of James Hamilton of Kames, 1775-1849 (J K Hewison 1893).

Though listed as a possible Class 1 henge (H A W Burl 1969), this classification is doubtful (Information from J N G Ritchie, RCAHMS).
