This fortlet was probably a forward post for the fort of Ardoch (no. 79) on the line of the road between Ardoch and Strageath. The rampart of the fortlet (some 21 m by 22.5 m internally) still stands 1 m in height within two outer ditches and an outer counterscarp bank. Although the fortlet was excavated in 1900, at the same time as several of the Gask Ridge stations (no. 81), no traces of internal structures were revealed and only areas of paving were discovered.
