The site of this fortified settlement is marked by a deep hollow situated just off the crest of this hill, where the ground begins to fall away more steeply to the WNW. First noted in the Statistical Account, by 1837 it had already been ploughed down (NSA, 3, Roxburghshire, 283), but its perimeter has been revealed by cropmarks, comprising twin ditches set some 4m apart, the inner up to 4m in breadth and the outer about 2m. Roughly circular on plan, the scooped interior measures about 55m in diameter (0.23ha) and has been dug up to 2m into the slope on the E. The entrance is on the W.
