Deskie Castle is the local name for an irregularoval knoll which is scarped and somewhat levelled. The mound runs about north-west to south-east and about north-east to south-west. The height is about. There are traces of walling around the edges to the west and north. There is evidence of another wall crossing the summit. It is all on a boggy slope which faces south-west, while a natural escarpment overlooks on the north and east. Three short earthen banks, each around wide and high, are located strategically to the west and north-west of the mound, but it is not known if the banks once formed an uninterrupted line of defence. The earthworks are not constructed in the motte-and-bailey style, but it is thought possible in view of the traditions associated with the site that they are the remains of a medieval stronghold. It is a scheduled monument.
