This fort occupies the elongated crest of a steep-sided ridge lying roughly parallel to the shore of Loch Slappin, which lies at the foot of the W flank some 40m below, while equally steep slopes drop away down into a valley on the E. The fort measures about 100m from N to S by up to 30m transversely (0.25ha), within a single wall, though large sectors of this have been demolished to build a large cattle fold which occupies the southern two thirds of the interior. Elsewhere around the N end the band of rubble is about 3m in thickness by 0.9m in height, while a few outer facing-stones remain in place on the SE and S. The entrance is probably at the N end. The interior is featureless.
