The remains of this small fortification occupy a promontory set back a little from the present shoreline on the SE side of Salen Bay. The NW end of the promontory terminates in a low cliff, but elsewhere on the NE, SE and SW the defences comprise a single wall, now reduced to a thin band of rubble and a few runs of outer facing-stones. The interior, which measures about 36m from NW to SE by 23m transversely (0.06ha), has been ploughed and is featureless. The position of the entrance is not known.
