Located on low-lying ground c. 50m W of a NNW-SSE section of the Fane River. It is depicted as a small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 15m) described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as an equally small enclosure incorporated into a NE-SW field bank on the 1907 edition. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture on any aerial images (OSAP).
