The monument comprises a small later prehistoric dun which occupies
the summit of a prominent craggy rock about 380m WNW of Craighead
Hill.
The dun measures about 20m by 15m. The wall has been extensively robbed, but at the E end, where the outer face can be traced for a distance of 9.3m, it is spread to a maximum thickness of 3.3m
The area to be scheduled is oval on plan and measures 90m from WSW to ENE by 50m transversely, to include the dun and an area around in
which evidence associated with its construction and use may survive,
as marked in red on the accompanying map.
