What may be the rampart of a fort has been noted in the woodland some 60m NW of Fatlips Castle, a tower-house occupying the easternmost of the rocky summits of Minto Craigs. The rampart, which has been reduced to a bank 4m in thickness by 0.6m in height, can be traced from NE to SW for some 40m in a shallow arc along a natural break in slope, reappearing to the WSW for a further 27m. While evidently including the summit occupied by the tower-house, no attempt has been made to survey the full extent of the interior, but a projection of a circuit roughly following the contours and crags suggests that it might enclose as much as 0.6ha.
