Situated on the summit of a NW-SE drumlin ridge towards the NW end. It is depicted as a small circular embanked enclosure on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘fort’ with field banks approaching it from NE, NW and SW. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 12m) defined by an earthen bank (at NE: Wth at base 4.6m; int. H 0.4ml; ext. H 1.5m) with some scrub, but material has been added to the perimeter S-NNW.
