This fort is situated on a slight knoll on the N spur of Morebattle Hill. Oval on plan, it measures about 62m from N to S by 52m transversely within twin ramparts with a medial ditch. On the S the inner rampart still stands to a height of about 1m above the level of the interior, but elsewhere it has been ploughed down, along with the ditch and the counterscarp rampart, the latter only visible in places around the E flank. The entrance was presumably on the NNE, where an old quarry has created the only gap in the circuit. The interior is featureless.
