This probable dun is a circular heap of stones and earth, slightly hollow on the summit, about 55ft in diameter and about 12ft high. The building has been robbed to build shielings and the only structure exposed is a few large stones forming a single course of walling of the outer face in the SE arc.
RCAHMS 1928, visited 2 August 1915.

All that can now be seen is a large stony turf-covered mound, 20.8m E-W by 18.5m N-S and 2.8m maximum height. On its flat top are the footings of a rectangular building and there are two boat-shaped shielings on the N and E sides of the mound.
