On a gentle N-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised oval area (c. 38m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.1-0.2m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an intervening fosse and an outer bank, neither of which is visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable.
