What is recorded here
On the SE slope of a low ridge in pasture. Depicted as a D-shaped enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A slightly raised subrectangular area (c. 30m NW-SE; c. 27m NE-SW) enclosed by modern field boundaries, which may incorporate the line of the original enclosing element. That from WNW-NW-N has been removed in recent years. The original entrance is not recognisable.
