Background
Description
There is a fort on a rocky knoll: it is an irregular oval, about 95 m north-northwest to south-southeast, by 25 m, enclosing an area of about 0.19 ha. The wall of the fort is now seen as a band of rubble, about 3 m thick, best preserved in the north. It is divided about midway by a rampart and ditch. In the south of the fort are the remains of a dun (or broch), built later than the fort, diameter about 20 m and having a maximum height of 1.5 m.
