Circular hill fort about three hundred feet in diameter.
More information can be found on Canmore ID 55966 which includes some aerial photographs and a detailed description of the fort which lies within a single rampart and ditch. It "occup(ies) a strong defensive position, (the rampart and ditch) are in a good state of preservation. Within the interior is one sheepfold, 19.0m in diameter and four hollowed-out areas up to 1.0m deep which ... may be the result of quarrying."
