This small fort occupies a promontory formed where a burn cuts through the coastal escarpment to the sea below Stremnishmore. Irregular on plan, the summit of the promontory measures about 35m from NW to SE by 18m transversely, and its defences have been reduced to a thin band of rubble that can be traced along its margin on the SW and at the SE tip. The entrance is probably on the N via a cleft in the rocky escarpment forming this flank. The interior is featureless.
