Trenching has established the whole of the N side, c. 518m long, and the NW angle of this camp, discovered from the air in 1967. Cropmarks confirmed by trenches at two points show that the E side was not less that 472m. The camp encloses the whole of a small hill between Castle Loch to the S and the former Halleaths Loch, drained in 1846, to the N; the dimension cannot exceed 495m because of the proximity of Castle Loch. A camp of 25.5ha would lie symmetrically on the hill and closely match is size and proportions the camp of 25.2ha at Dalswinton, 17km to the W.
