The D-shaped fortification is built with its straight side on the edge of the cliffs and encloses an area of ​​approximately 13.0 by 10.0 metres. Dun Ardtreck was excavated in 1964-65. The wall was placed on a roughly levelled platform. Charcoal found has been dated to 115 BC. The first phase of use appears to have been brief ending in violence and destruction. The second phase has been dated from pottery to the mid-2nd century AD. Finds from this period include iron tools, bronze ornaments, potter's wheels and fragments of Roman terra sigillata. n the pouring rain, the place is really difficult to reach because everything turns into a swamp
