The remains of a fort are visible on a promontory on the SW side of the mouth of Kiloran Bay. Irregular on plan and girt by cliffs everywhere except the neck on the SW, it measures about 40m from N to S by 38m transversely (0.12ha) within a wall reduced to a bank of earth and stones that can be traced around the southern and eastern margins. The entrance is not visible as such, but was probably on the SW. Within the interior there are traces of several small enclosures that RCAHMS investigators suggested were a small rectangular building and some garden plots.
