This fort is situated on a steep-sided coastal promontory above the rocky foreshore at the S end of Dounan Bay. The defences comprise an earthen rampart 18m in length, and 4.5m in thickness and 1m in height, accompanied by traces of an external ditch, which cuts off access from the E; a gap midway along the rampart, however, is probably relatively recent, and the original entrance was probably via a natural cleft in the N side of the promontory. The interior, which measures 52m from ENE to WSE by up to 24m transversely, is featureless.
