Internal diam. 30m-35m. Marked 'Dunfinn' on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch map the site consists of a subcircular area situated on the E end of an E-W ridge. At the W end is a bank of earth and stones 2m high and 21m N-S. This joins a curving stone wall at the SW side. The S is defined by the natural drop as is the E but there is tentative evidence of a bank along the E edge. To the N is a collapsed stone wall which curves around to join the W bank. It is situated on open mountain terrain with marshy land to the N and SE.
