On a knoll known as Carn na Sean-chreige are the remains of a rectangular fort. The walls have been stripped of stone almost to ground level. The fort is oriented roughly NW/SE and is some 30m by 28m. Traces of galleries remain within the walls; and one lintel is still visible near the NW corner. The whole site was planted with trees in the 1960s; these have now been harvested but both the interior and the surrounding ground is rough with tree stumps and coarse vegetation.
The knoll on which the fort was built falls away steeply to the SW; here nothing remains of the wall but scattered boulders. The site commands a fine view of Loch Achaid na h-Inich, on which the remains of a crannog are to be found.
