Leading up to this hillfort from the southwest is a row of standing stones and several ring cairns, with which there must be some link.
From Fonleif Hir C standing stone just go straight up to the top of the hill. It is bisected by two converging walls that cut the fort into quarters, and parts of the ditches and bank are fairly worn, but enough remains to warrant a visit up to the fort by itself. Oh and the views are breathtaking, especially the mountain veiw.
