In undulating grassland, prominently sited at the top of a steep SSE-facing slope. A conical earthen mound (H c. 3m) with a flat oval summit (27m E-W; 22.5m N-S) is enclosed along its rim by a moss-covered stony bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.55m). Externally the stony bank merges with the steep sloping side of the mound. The base of the mound is enclosed by a shallow and indistinct fosse (Wth c. 3-4m) except WSW-W where it is steep-sided (D 0.7m; Wth 4.3m). Ash trees, hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles grow around the perimeter of the mound and blackthorn bushes and clumps of brambles dot the summit. At ENE is a gentle ramp-like slope on the mound's side, corresponding with a gap in the bank (Wth 2.3m) at the summit. According to Milligan (1890-91, 577), this may be one of the castles captured by O'Donnell in 1516 during one of his raids. Killross parish church (SL021-056001-) lies 700m to the ENE.
