On low-lying ground, in the flood-plain of a stream. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A circular mound of earth and stone (diam. at base c. 18m; H 0.85-1m). The top is flat (diam. 12.8m) and is enclosed by fragmentary remains of a low bank of earth and stone (H 0.1-0.3m). At the base of the mound is a shallow fosse (Wth 3.1-3.5m; D 0.4m). At the outer lip of the fosse is a second bank (Wth 2-2.8m; H 0.2-0.45m) with traces of an external fosse (Wth 1.7m; D 0.15m) which is identifiable from SE-S-W. The original entrance is not recognisable.
