This settlement is situated on a terrace about 200m SSW of Foulshiels steading. D-shaped on plan, it measures 85m from NNE to SSW by 68.5m transversely within a stony rampart about 3.3m in thickness and up to 0.8m in height. The rampart is accompanied by an external ditch up to 3.5m in breadth and about 0.7m in depth, and there is an entrance on the ESE, near the E corner, with a causeway across the ditch. Although various platforms or terraces and rickles of stones can be seen in the interior, none can be resolved into coherent structures, either circular or rectangular. Two other gaps in the perimeter are visible, one on the SE and the other at the NNW corner. On the SW there is a boggy hollow across which it is difficult to trace either the rampart or the ditch.
