This small fortification occupies a low hillock rising out of the foot of the slope on the S flank of Glenkerie Rig. Oval on plan, its interior measures about 45m from NE to SW by 25m transversely (0.9ha), roughly approximating to the extent of a large walled sheepfold that overlies the fort. The defences comprise up to three ramparts, the inner of which has probably been a substantial wall though for much of its circuit it is reduced to a stony scarp with occasional outer facing; the outer ramparts, which are also reduced to scarps, are most clearly visible at the NE end, and as a result of cultivation neither now forms a complete circuit. The entrance is on the NE and while the SE side of the interior is slightly sunken no clear house-plaforms are visible.
