Bi-vallate fort. The inner rampart is barely visible as an occasional stone protruding through heather. The outer rampart remains as a scatter of stones, with the entrance 2 m wide in the east-southeast. The internal diameter is 33 m east-west by 29 m diameter north-south. A low, overgrown cairn, 7.6 m diameter, lies within, otherwise no features visible. An excavation was carried out in 2017 by Gordon Noble and Oskar Sveinbjarnarson as part of the Northern Pict project. A trench was opened in the interior and another across the exterior stone wall. The interior trench identified a possible low stone wall and associated floor later or old ground surface. A possible pit was identified associated with the possible floor layer. The exterior trench recorded the outer enclosure wall as constructed straight on the bedrock, and survives to circa 3 m (10 feet) wide and up to 0.5 m (1.6 feet) high.
