The enclosure sits on a prominent glacial mound in the valley between Creag nan Abhag and Creag an Lòin in Glen Banchor. Three sides are very steep with the fourth a bit more gentle. The views of Glen Banchor and Speyside are quite spectacular from the top.
A smaller knoll rises up on the west side; from here, looking east at the main hill, part of the enclosure can be seen at the flattened top. On the top itself, the only obvious sign of construction is a ring enclosure feature 5m in diameter.
Canmore site no. 13072
