Dun. The slight remains of a dun are situated on the crest of a hill at a height of 99m OD. Originally it was probably circular on plan, measuring about 15m in diameter internally, but the wall has been so reduced by stone-robbing that only a grass-grown band of stony debris is now visible, standing to a maximum height of 1.2m and spread to a thickness of up to 6.1m. One large earthfast boulder protrudes from the debris on the S, but no facing-stones remain. The entrance was probably on the W.
