This small fortification occupies the summit of a rocky knoll rising abruptly out of the moorland between Galmisdale and Grulin. Roughly oval on plan, it measures about 28m from N to S by 24m transversely (0.05ha) within a wall can be traced around the margin of the summit on the S and W. The wall has been reduced to a low mound about 2m thick along which a few outer facing-stones can be seen. The entrance is probably on the SE, where there is a shallow cleft in the flank of the knoll. The foundations of two roughly circular structures back against the line of the wall on the NW, but it is difficult to determine their relationship to the enclosing wall without excavation.
