This enclosure occupied a steep-sided promontory on the S bank of the Luggie Water, but it has been completely subsumed into an industrial development. The defences comprised a ditch some 5m in breadth, presumably originally with an internal rampart, which cut off the level S and E approaches to the promontory; the roughly triangular interior measured a maximum of 75m from NE to SE by 60m transversely (0.22ha). Only known from vertical aerial photographs taken in 1947 (82/RAF/1236/F21: 0187-8), the interior is featureless and no entrance is recorded.
