Situated on an E-facing spur on the W side of Upper Annandale, there are the remains of a settlement. Roughly oval on plan, it measures 45.7m from N to S by 33m transversely within a turf-covered bank up to 4.7m thick and 0.3m high. The bank is best preserved on the N and S; on the E it has been reduced to little more than a scarp and it has probably been robbed on the W. The entrance (c. 2.5m wide) is on the SSE. The E and N part of the interior is marked by a raised area upon which there is a possible house-site (marked by a shallow depression) measuring 7.5m in diameter.
