Structure.
An irregularly oval knoll which is scarped and somewhat levelled is locally known as 'Deskie Castle'. The knoll runs about north west to south east and about north east to south west. The height is about . There are traces of walling around the edges to the west and north. There is evidence of another wall 1.0m wide crossing the summit. It is all on a boggy slope which faces south west, while a natural escarpment overlooks on the north and east. There are Away from the mound and strategically Placed strategically on the west and north west, separate from the mound, are three distinct short lengths of earthen banks, each being around wide and high. But it is not clear that the banks formed a continuous outer defence to the mound. While the earthworks are not of motte and bailey type, it is thought possible in view of the traditions associated with the site that they are remains of a medieval stronghold.
It is a scheduled monument.
