The National Monuments Service's description
On the SW-facing slope of a low E–W ridge in an area of outcropping rock with good views in all directions. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation ‘Fort’ on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1987 (SMR file) noted that apart from a curving field boundary that might mirror the line of the W side of the enclosing element, no visible surface trace of the monument survived.
