This ruined dun is situated on the flat summit of a rocky ridge 350m SW of Colachla, a position which affords spectacular views across to Arran. The dun measures 17m in diameter within an irregularly-built wall which is best preserved on the N, where it is 3m thick. A number of inner and outer facing-stones can still be seen, the former including several large blocks set upright in a way which is uncharacteristic of the wall structure of duns elsewhere in Argyll. The entrance is on the NNE, and the outer corner-stone and two facing-stones of the W side-wall are still in position.
