Not marked as an antiquity on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Approx. triangular-shaped (max. dims. 33.5m x 23m), N-facing promontory defined by high, steep cliffs except on the landward (NE) side where it is defended by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3m; H 0.3m) with an external fosse (Wth. 3m; D 0.5m). At the outer lip of the fosse is a second bank (Wth. 3m; H 0.5m). A modern stone wall divides the enclosed area from the banks and fosse. The OS Letters (1837, 174) record that this monument was called 'Dún Balra'.
