What are probably the remains of a small fortification are situated on a low ridge of outcrop above a crag that forms the leading edge of a terrace below Gargask Craig. Irregular on plan, it measures about 35m from NE to SW by 18m transversely within a heavily robbed wall drawn between the outcrops at the SW end and along the NW and NE flanks; on both the NE and the S the remains of the wall peter out towards the edge of the crag, which completes the circuit on the SE. The wall itself is spread up to 4m in thickness on the SW, while on the NW, where the outcrops rise between 2m and 4m above the adjacent terrace, it forms a stony scarp about 1m high. The position of the entrance is uncertain, though there is a thinning in the band of rubble on the NE of the outcrops forming the NW corner. The interior is rough and uneven.
