Situated on the summit of a spur behind Ingleston steading, this fort has been heavily ploughed down and its ramparts have been reduced to little more than two scarps. Roughly circular on plan, it measures about 54m in internal diameter (0.23ha) and the entrance is on the ESE, which is also the only part of the circuit where the inner rampart still forms a bank. Cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs reveal that each rampart was accompanied by an external ditch.
