It has a central summit and what appears to be a ramp access route along to the nearby ridge. The Royal Commission for Ancient Monuments (RCAHMS) states "its date and purpose are not clear".
For more information see Canmore ID 57289 which adds: "This fort is situated on the right bank of the Blackadder, at an elevation of some 640ft OD. It comprises an oval enclosure measuring some 141ft by 71ft within a single rampart, accompanied by an internal ditch. The entrance is in the NE. There are two or three slight indications of hut circles in the interior."
Their record contains a plan and cross-sections of the fort which are available to download for private use from the 'Collections' tab.
