The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. According to O’Connell (1938, 145), on the NW side of the ringfort (KE022-014----) a number of large pits with charcoal stained sides were visible cutting through the fosse and bank material. These possibly suggest the presence of a kiln, a localised quarry or the remains of a metalworking site. A disused limekiln is depicted on the OS 25-inch map (1892) map c. 240m ENE.
