Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps; as hachured circular raised area with section of bank remaining to NE on 1937 OS 6-inch map. According to local information, levelled c. 1977. Circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by low rise to S and W; by differential growth pattern to E on line of bank. Probably single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 28yd) recorded by Bowman (1934, 277) with about one-sixth of circuit remaining (H c. 3ft).
