This small fortification occupies a steep-sided and precipitous promontory formed in an angle on the NW side of the gorge cut by the River Nairn E of Daviot. Its defences comprise a single wall drawn across the neck on the NE and returning some 15m along its margins to cut off an area measuring about 60m from NE to SW by about 25m transversely (0.12ha). The wall is spread up to 4m in thickness and occasional outer facing-stones are visible along its line; it is pierced by a central entrance. The interior is featureless.
