This small fort occupies the summit of the Fell of Barhullion and offers extensive views in all directions except the east. The fort was built in two phases - the first one consisted of an earthen rampart, the second one added a stone wall. The debris from the wall constructed during the second phase are clearly visible in the western part of the fort.
