This small fortification occupies the summit of a rocky knoll in the bend of the public road overlooking the cairns and standing stone at Kintraw. Oval on plan, it measures about 32m from NNE to SSW by 18m transversely (0.05ha) within a wall reduced largely to a low band of rubble; a few runs of the outer face can be seen on the E and S, and small patches of vitrifaction are exposed on the N and SSW. The entrance is not visible, but may have been protected by a small outwork that loops out from the line of the main wall to enclose a small terrace on the NNE. A low scarp on the NW side of the interior may indicate the back of the platform for a timber round-house.
