Hillfort in Aberdeenshire. A bivallate Iron Age hillfort is located on the summit of a prominent hill overlooking the stone circle of Old Keig. The outer rampart is in better condition than the inner one. The latter survived as a low bank of 5m width and 0.5m height. Remains of the entrance can be seen in the eastern part of the fort.
