H 0.3m; Wth 6m) survives W->NNE; bank levelled elsewhere and appears to be pushed outwards to E and S giving the site overall dimensions of 22m N-S and 20m E-W. Interior slopes down to E; flat-topped mound (diam. c. 3.3m; H 0.2m) in N half of interior. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 379) as levelled single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 25yd) on C.
