This position on a small peninsular plateau at Glen Mooar has been the subject of conjecture that there may have been a promontory fort here.  The land is a flat topped neck of ground with fairly steep slopes on all sides except the east. Though the upper 2.0 m of the slopes appear steeper than normal this may be an optical illusion created by the erection of a wall and bank around the majority of the site. There is no definite evidence of scarping. The narrow neck in the east is created by two apparently natural re-entrants - the one on the north side curving southwards from an east-west river valley which has several such features and the one on the south curving backwards as part of a complex series of natural slopes. Across the narrow neck between these two re-entrants there is no trace of an artificial earthwork. 


It has also been suggested that an Early Medieval burial ground exists here, but it is an unlikely keeill or chapel site.
