A heavily robbed enclosure on the summit of Mortlich is probably the remains of a small fortification occupying a position from which there are commanding views up and down Strath Dee. Oval on plan, it measures about 62m from ENE to WSW by 45m transversely (0.21ha) within a wall reduced to a heather-grown band of stones 3m thick and no more than 0.3m high; traces of a gap on the ENE possibly indicate the position of the entrance. The interior is featureless, much of the eastern half being a quarried outcrop surmounted by a cairn erected in 1863 in commemoration of the 10th Marquis of Huntly.
