It occupies the summit of a rocky boss, on the eastern edge of the sand-hills located 300 metres (984 ft 3 in) north of Totamore.
The dun is well protected by cliffs up to 19 metres (62 ft 4 in); although the approach from the north-northeast is almost level.
The dun was protected by wall which would at one time have been about 3m thick; and would have run along the summit.
The current condition of the wall is, however, very poor and only a few fragments of it survive today.
Only a single facing-stone remains on the southern side of the entrance.
