This small fortification occupies a hillock on the edge of the coastal escarpment on the NE coast of Troternish, were the ground drops away precipitously on the NE to the shore of Bagh nan Gunnaichean some 60m below. The walls have been heavily robbed, but it seems to have comprised an outer enclosure backing onto the escarpment, within which there is a centrally placed circular building. The interior of the outer enclosure measures about 27m from N to S by 13m transversely (0.03ha) . The position of the entrance is not known.
