Situated on a slight natural rise in gently undulating grassland. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a small circular earthwork annotated as a ‘fort’. Present remains consist of a circular shaped area (diam. 11.2m N-S; 12.5m E-W) enclosed by a dry stone wall (Wth 1m; H 0.8m). A collapsed L-shaped dry-stone wall (long portion 5m WSW-ENE; short portion 3.20m SSE-NW; Wth 1.8m; H 0.4m; T 0.5m) of uncertain date is visible in the interior.
