On the top of a knoll known as Castlethorn there are the remains of what may be a fort. The highest part of the knoll is surrounded by a low bank up to 2m thick and on the N a second bank takes in a lower terrace. The entrance lies in the W, and the trackway leading from it is marked by two upright slabs of stone, for which see NS97SE 38.

Visited by RCAHMS (JBS) 12 August 1985.

Scheduled (with NS97SE 38) as Castlethorn, fort and standing stones.
