The remains of this fort have been destroyed by stone quarrying. It was already heavily degraded by the time of its discovery in 1953 on the rounded summit of Craigie Hill. Slightly oval on plan, it measured about 80m from NE to SW by 70m transversely (0.44ha) within a single rampart which where best preserved around the western half of the circuit formed a stony scarp some 1.8m in height; no trace of the rampart survived on the SE, nor upon the NE, which was already being quarried. The rocky interior was featureless.
