Internal diam. c. 13m. A roughly circular area enclosed by a random scatter of stones surviving to a height of .2m. It appears that an outer wall existed, suggested only by a discolouration in the heather. A 2m break in the NE quadrant may indicate an entrance but there is also a causeway through the walls in the NW quadrant. A subcircular foundation of stones, 2m in diameter, inside the enclosure may be the remains of a trigonometrical station while a horseshoe shaped depression in the SE quadrant may be natural. It is situated on the summit of Fearn Hill on a rocky platform and commands extensive views.
