This fort occupies a narrow finger of the cliff-line forming the S side of a small bay on the S coast of Mull, presenting a cliff face up to 35m high along this flank, and elsewhere rock-faces and steep slopes falling away from 5m to 30m. The crest of the promontory is no more than 30m broad, extending for a distance of some 320m beyond a wall built immediately SW of a point where there is a narrow neck. The wall is about 20m in length and 2.2m thick, with an outer face incorporating several massive blocks, and thus cuts off an area of about 0.78ha. The entrance is midway along the wall.
