The incomplete and gorse-covered remains of a rectangular scarped platform stand on level ground at Dunoon Golf Course NW of Kirn, formerly the lands of Ardenslate Farm. It was described in 1845 by the parish minister, who identified it as a Roman camp, as measuring about 27m by 22m, and 3m in height (en.l), but the W end has been truncated by landscaping and it now measures about 23m in length by just over 2m in height above a well-defined ditch, possibly originally wet. On the summit there is a buttressed stone screen-wall 8m long and 3m high, incorporating in the W face a fireplace, which probably belonged to a shelter of late 19th century date (en.2*).
