This fort occupies the northern summit of Almagill Hill. The defences are best formed on the S, facing into the saddle separating it from the southern summit, where two ramparts can be seen, the inner forming a scarp some 1.9m in external height. Elsewhere on the E and W, where the hill falls away more steeply, only the inner rampart can be traced, and there is no evidence that this completed its circuit on the N. The roughly oval interior measures about 150m from N to S by 100m transversely (1.3ha) and is featureless. There is an entrance on the S.
