Situated on the summit of a hill which has now been planted with pine trees which have damaged and obstructed the dun. There is natural protection of rock faces on three sides but the remaining side would have been relatively easy. It measures 15m by 16m. The wall is 2.75m thick with a maximum height of 1m (five courses). The entrance is on the E and measures 1m wide on its outer end and 1.6m on its inner with the passage wall standing to at least 1m high.
