The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground at the SW base of Forth Mountain. Immediately to the W of the castle (WX041-027----) is a N-S sunken track or fosse (L 150m; Wth 4-8m). There was exposed stonework visible at the N end of this feature in 1988. All the features have eroded further through ploughing.
