The slight remains of what was probably a fort occupy the summit of a narrow grassy knoll 400m NNW of Barbreck House. An area about 60m by 15m is enclosed by a low bank of earth and stones, which fringes the knoll on all sides except the N, where it is protected by a rock outcrop. Only two outer facing-stones and no inner ones survive; fragments of burnt stone and a piece of vitrifaction were found on the NE. The entrance probably lay on the SW, where there is a gap in the walling. On the E side of the entrance the bank is much spread, giving the appearance of a double rampart, but its original form is unclear. The site has been extensively robbed, possibly in connection with the building of Barbreck House.
