This fort is situated on a promontory on a degraded coastal escarpment set back from the beach in Larbrax Bay. Its defences comprise up to three ramparts and ditches, which cut across the neck of the promontory on the NNE immediately NW of the entrance; SE of the entrance, however, only two ramparts with a medial ditch can be seen, while extending along the SE flank of the promontory these reduce to only a single rampart forming little more than a scarp above a broad level terrace cut into the slope. The interior measures 83m from NE to SW by 44m transversely, but apart from traces of rig and furrow it is featureless.
