There was a fort occupying the summit of Rachan Hill. It was oblong on plan measuring about 250ft (76.2m) by 190ft (57.9m) within defences originally consisting of two stone walls. The 'immense quantity of stones' described by Armstrong as having enveloped the fort in 1775, indicates that the walls were of considerable proportions; but since then they have suffered severely from stone-robbing and, where still visible, are now reduced to low bands of rubble, about 5ft (1.52m) in width, overgrown in places by rough grass. The complete line of the outer wall can still be seen, but the inner wall, though clearly marked in the SE and S sectors, cannot be traced elsewhere with certainty, and the plan merely marks its probable course. The interior of the fort is broken up by a series of low spines of rock outcrop aligned from NE to SW. In the hollows between them there are the foundations of four circular stone-walled houses, measuring 28ft to 35ft (8.5 to10.7m) in internal diameter.
