This structure stands at a height of 900ft OD 480 yards ESE of North Keig farmhouse on the broad flat summit of the high ground the E part of which is called the Hill of Airlie. It consists of an almost circular enclosure measuring 115 feet from E to W by 110 feet transversely within the ruins of two stone walls. The inner which runs round the rim of the slight mound that forms the summit of the hill consist of a scanty spread of large stones partly concealed under heather and gorse grass. The outer, distant some 20 feet from this on level ground and in a better state of preservation, consists of a mound of blocks of stones which measures about 13 feet in thickness, several inner and two outer facing stones being visible in situ among the ruins. The entrance is in the E. Within the interior, which is otherwise featureless, the slight remains of a cairn 25 ft in diameter lie in the S.
