NR 7912 9739. The tumbled remains of a near-circular dun measuring about 13.0m in diameter between tumbled walls 3.0m-4.0m wide. Along the E and W sides, several large boulders support the wall. Although there is no clear entrance it was almost certainly on the NE where the wall is less pronouced and access is easiest. The interior is featureless.
Below the dun on the NE, several earthfast boulders form a crude rectangular enclosure measuring c. 0.9m x 5.0m internally.
Terraces below the knoll on the S and E are wholly natural.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
