What may be the remains of a small fort have been revealed by aerial photography on the summit of the Craig Rock, a craggy hillock above Lahill Craig. A single rampart can be seen on the photographs forming a raised lip around the W end of the summit area, which rises into a rocky boss at its E end; internally it measures about 50m from E to W by 17m transversely (0.07ha). Parchmarks suggest there may be an external ditch at the W end, and there are several terraces descending the E end, but whether these are natural or later features is uncertain; the remains of several old tracks leading into quarries can also be seen around the margins of the hill. No entrance through the possible rampart is visible, and the interior is featureless.
