NR 291 554. This fort is situated 600 m E of Laggan on the almost level summit of Cnoc Eabriic, the headland that rises 19m above the sea at the mouth of the River Laggan. The W side and the S end of the headland are sheer cliffs and on the E there are steep slopes; only from the N is there easy access over gently rising ground. For much of its circuit the wall follows the margin of the summit area; no inner facing-stones survive, but some short stretches of the lowest course of the outer face are visible. As it crosses the neck of the promontory on the N, the rubble core of the wall is still standing to a height of 1.2m externally and 0.8m internally; a gap near the centre of this sector marks the position of the entrance.
The interior, which has been greatly disturbed by former cultivation, contains an arc of grass-grown rubble about
0.5m high; its relationship to the fort is unclear and it may even be associated with a small turf-and-stone enclosure of
no great age situated just inside the line of the wall on the E.
