This stone fort crowns the broad flat summit of an isolated hill which overlooks the Howe of Alford from the N. It consists of an almost circular enclosure measuring 115ft (35m) by 110ft (33.5m) within two ruined walls, the inner the more ruinous. The slight remains of a cairn 25ft (7.6m) in diameter are the only feature visible in the interior.
