The scant remains of dun, c21m in overall diameter, surviving as a circular rickle of stones ploughed through by Forestry Commission in N. Intermittent outer wall facing stones are evident around S arc and at one point in SE, the outer wall face up to 2 courses high is visible for a length of c1.5m. Entrance is not apparent and wall thickness cannot be ascertained although width of tumble in the S suggests it was in order of c3m. A ruinous sheep fold, 10.5m in diameter is built almost centrally within dun, and recent buildings occupy its E arc.
