This fort overlooks the SW mouth of the Sound of Kerrera, occupying a conspicuous hill that forms the southern end of the ridge of high ground on the mainland lying parallel to the sound. Girt with precipitous cliffs on the S and W, the defences comprise a single wall extending along the margin of the summit plateau above a steep rocky slope on the E and the gentler slopes connecting the hill to the rest of the ridge on the N. The wall is only intermittently visible, where best preserved forming a band of rubble up to 3.7m in thickness by 1.1m in height, and a few outer facing-stones are also visible on the NE. The entrance is on the N, where a winding trackway mounts the slope. The interior is featureless.
