Cropmarks have revealed the ditches of a fort cutting off a shallow promontory forming part of the escarpment dropping down to the public road crossing the haughland at the confluence of the River Tummel with the Tay. The defences comprise twin ditches about 4m in breadth and set 6m apart, which are drawn in an arc across the northern approaches to the promontory and block access from the NE and NW. The interior measures about 60m from ENE to WSW immediately to the rear of the defences by a maximum of 30m transversely (0.12ha) and is featureless apart from traces of two possible palisade trenches set concentrically within the inner ditch.
