The remains of a small oval fortification are situated on a hillock adjacent to the car park on the road down to Mingary Pier. It measures about 30m from NNE to SSW by 18m transversely (0.04ha) within a wall reduced to little more than a scatter of stones. The entrance was probably on the NNE, where a shallow gully crosses the line of the wall. The footings of a small rectangular enclosure of more recent date can be seen in this gully, but the interior is otherwise featureless.
