Background
Description
The site consists of a partly vitrified fort overlaid by a dun. A ruined wall of width about 10 ft encloses an oval area of about 150 ft by 120 ft. Outside this on the east is a wall about 320 ft long, and on the north are two shorter walls. There is an entrance between the outer of these walls and the wall to the east. It is thought there were at least two phases of construction of the dun: walls of poorer quality have been discerned to the west, south and south-east.
