What is recorded here
The hillfort was recently described in the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland as following; 'Sub oval multiple enclosure positioned at the summit of an isolated hill, with excellent views overlooking the surrounding low-lands. The site has a total footprint of approximately 2.9ha. Bivallate for its entire circuit with no recorded entrance features. The enclosing elements are widely spaced and are separated by 23 - 200m. This variation is due to the outer enclosing element following the contours of the natural limestone plateau. No evidence for any internal features on the surface (Grogan 2005, 113). The central enclosing element is depicted in the first and second editions of the Ordnance Survey maps. Condit (1995, 36) released a basic plan of the site in 1995.'
