Situated on a low ridge running NW-SE, in pasture. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork (approx. diam. 22m), annotated ‘Fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan. Poorly preserved monument described in 1972 as a much disturbed roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 40m) defined by a bank with traces of an outer fosse. The bank is almost reduced to a scarp and is evident from NNE-E-S-SW and with vague traces from NNW-N-NNE. There are the very slight remains of a fosse from NE-E-S-SW. The perimeter has been removed from SW-W-N-NE. A public road skirts the monument at W. Much of the interior has been quarried away and an entrance to the quarry is cut through the scarp at NNE. Outline of levelled monument is visible today as a roughly circular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography.
