This small promontory work is situated on the steep NW flank of Glenashdale, where a shelf projects out into the glen and the ground falls away precipitously on all sides except the N. There a semi-circular arc of wall some 5m in thickness has been drawn across the neck of the promontory, and though it is heavily tumbled on the W, on the N its inner and outer faces still stand to a maximum height of 1.5m in five courses. The interior measures about 25m from NE to SW by 20m transversely and its area was estimated by the OS at about 400 square metres (0.04ha). The entrance is on the NE, and where the faces remain in place measures some 2m wide.
