The overgrown remains of this dun occupy the top of a steep-sided knoll cut off from a promontory between two streams by a deep natural gully. The dun is circular, measuring about 15.5m over a wall spread to a thickness of up to 5.3m. The entrance lies on the NNE, and a band of rubble on the S, NW and N may indicate the presence of an outwork.
