A short distance off the highest point of a prominent WNW-ESE ridge in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 21.4m) delimited by a poorly defined scarp (H 0.2-0.55m). The original entrance is not recognisable. A portion of the SE quadrant has been quarried away.
