A small drystone structure aligned NE-SW and measuring c2.5m by c1.7m over walls c0.4m thick and c0.8m high. Ft has an internal division with access into both parts through entrances at the NE corners of the walls. At the edge of the cultivated ground to the NE are at least two wee stone structures clm in diameter by the outcropping rock. To the SE are at least two other drystone structures, one of which has the remains of a roofed recess within one wall.
