Situated on a low, gently sloping oval-shaped drumlin (approx. dims. 40m E-W; 65m N-S; H 2.5m), in very undulating pasture, with restricted views. Enclosure (WM020-014----) lies c. 95m to N. Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan. Depicted on the 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork. Levelled monument described in 1998 as no surface remains visible. There is no trace of the scarp delimiting the site which was described in previous reports and it appears that this has been levelled out to blend in with the natural scarp of the ridge. Near the base of the ridge, on the E side, there is a band of dark green grass, which may suggest the presence of a backfilled fosse. Monument is visible today as a suboval-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
