What is recorded here
Situated on the W end of a steep narrow E-W ridge surrounded by relatively low lying very gentle undulating land of poor to good quality pasture. Land immediately outside fort tends to be waterlogged. Good views in all directions from centre of ringfort. Monument not indicated on 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. An oval shaped area (diam. 41m) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank with trace of an external fosse visible at E and W only, possible causewayed entrance (Wth 1.75m) at E. On the S side a modern field fence encroaches on the site. The interior is very uneven with disturbance caused by gravel quarrying at S.
