This small fort is situated on a rocky and precipitous hillock at the foot of the steep NE flank of Knockdolian. Roughly D-shaped on plan, the rampart roughly follows the margin of the summit of the hillock and encloses an area measuring about 30m from E to W along the chord on the S by 25m transversely (0.06ha). Now reduced to a bank 5.6m in thickness by 0.9m high externally, additional protection has been provided on the N and W by a ditch cut into the foot of the crags. In 1977, John Linge of the OS found several fragments of burnt bone, three small sherds of rough pottery and a flint scraper in mole casts.
