The National Monuments Service's description
On a SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular embanked enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A subcircular raised area (c. 49m N-S; c. 46m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1m), which has been faced with drystone masonry. From WNW-NW-NNW the scarp has been removed and replaced with a NE-SW hedgerow and field fence; elsewhere modern field boundaries skirt the base of it. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable.
