This small fortification is situated on a precipitous promontory above the shore at Boreraig, its defences now comprising little more than an arc of bank some 4m in thickness by 2m in height. Almost certainly the remains of a heavily eroded wall, it cuts off an area measuring 18m from N to S by 13m transversely (0.02ha); rather than a promontory work, it is possibly a heavily eroded oval dun, which has lost two thirds of its wall over the edge of the cliff.
