Coflein says......A roughly triangular area, 100m N-S by 77m, upon a craggy summit, rests on abrupt crags on the E and SW, elsewhere it is defined by a ruined wall.
On the E and N are traces of relict field walls below the enclosure.

The fort is highly visible from Carn Fadryn and from the road as you drive to Llanbedrog to see a ruined dolmen, but that was as close as we got, it's on the list now so it might not be too long, but don't hold your breath.
