Cropmarks have revealed the site of a minor fortification NNE of Balzeordie on a low ridge separated by two shallow dens that drop gently down towards the E, The N side is lost in the coniferous shelter belt that fills Balzeordie Den, but the enclosure is probably oval on plan, measuring about 75m from E to W by 60m transversely (0.35ha) within twin ditches set about 6m apart; the inner ditch is between 2m and 3m in breadth, but the outer is nowhere more than 2m, and allowing for the presence of upcast ramparts the interior probably extended to about 0.27ha. There is an entrance on the SW.
