The National Monuments Service's description
At the SE end of a low ridge. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised oval area (c. 43m NW-SE; c. 36m NE-SW) enclosed by a poorly preserved, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.5m; H 0.3m), which has been reduced by a scarp (H 0.8-0.9m) at S. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a shallow external fosse; it has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable.
