The remains of this small fortification are situated on a steep-sided knoll in the bottom of Glen Lonan. Oval on plan, it measures 29m from ENE to WSW by 21m transversely within a wall largely reduced to a band of rubble from which a few outer facing-stones protrude on the ENE and WSW. Excavation has shown that the wall varies between 2.5m in thickness to either side of the entrance on the SE, to as much as 4.6m on the W; fragments of two rotary quernstones were recovered from the wall. The only feature visible within the interior is a small rectangular building on the NW, while the excavatior identified two small structures within the rubble of the wall (Betts 1969).
