The site comprises a univallate hillfort with a single defensive rampart enclosing the summit of its rocky knoll, typical of fortified settlements constructed during the Iron Age in western Scotland. The fort's position on elevated terrain would have provided strategic visibility across the surrounding landscape, characteristic of defensive sites from this period.
