The low flat-topped knoll that stands in trees 200m E of Ardblair Castle (NO14SE 1) has been enclosed by a bank which has been largely reduced to a scarp. There are also traces of an external ditch on the S. The interior measures about 40m by 33m.
The author of the New Statistical Account records the remains of a building on the summit of the knoll, for which little evidence now survives, and the tradition that at one time the knoll was enclosed by water.
Visited by RCAHMS (AW, SPH) June 1992.
NSA 1845; 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1867), sheet 63.
