The remains of this fort, which has been under several crops of trees since the mid 19th century, are situated on the summit of the Hill of Dores. Oval on plan, it measures 92m from NE to SW by 56m transversely (0.4ha) within heavily degraded twin ramparts. The inner has been reduced largely to a scarp about 2m in external height following the lip of the summit, on the NE and SSE rising into a low bank up to 5.5m thick; no trace of the outer can be seen on the S, but its line can be traced elsewhere, on the SW forming a low bank some 6.4m in thickness. The entrance is probably on the SW.
