Situated on a plug of rock outcrop rising from a S-facing slope. Grass-covered triangular area (dims 40m NE-SW; 25m NW-SE at SW to c. 10m at NE) with naturally defensive cliffs (H 2-6m) on all sides except at NE, where a fosse (L c. 10m; Wth of top c. 8m; Wth of base 3.5m; ext. D 1m; int. D 2.4m) has been dug at the narrowest point. Within the enclosure a rectangular platform (dims 13m NE-SW; 7m NW-SE) is defined by a slight fosse (Wth 4-6m; max. D 0.5m) on all sides except at NW, where it abuts the cliff-edge. The perimeter of the promontory has stone field walls built on it.
