It is easy to imagine that this small fort would have been quite impressive before it got destroyed. The now overgrown, low walls are made of very large blocks, which appear to be well fitted.

Due to the trees and bushes that now claim it, it is best viewed from a distance. There is quite a large standing stone 10m outside it to the east.
