In tillage, on S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as circular area (diam. c. 28m) enclosed by hachured fosse on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Levelled; visible in field of barley as raised area; fosse survives E->SSW skirted by earthen field boundary (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.2m) which may incorporate remains of second bank. Low rise, to W of N-S field boundary, at W side of site, also suggests remains of second bank. Bowman (1934, 402) record levelled fort in D. Nugent's, single ramparted (diam. c. 39yd).
