What may be the remains of a small fortification are situated on the summit of Dun Buidh, a precipitous crag that in more recent times has been used as a vantage point for a forest fire watchtower. The most coherent description is provided by the OS, who suggested that the interior measured about 46m from NE to SE by 17m transversely (0.06ha) within a heavily reduced wall that could be traced around the N and W, and they believed that a lower scarp up to 2.5m high around these flanks was probably the remains of an outer wall. They placed the entrance on the N.
