The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Fort' on the 1835 'OS 6-inch' map. A circular flat topped mound with a circular depression in the centre and a limekiln at the S edge. Extending to the SE from the mound is a semi-circular ramp which is possibly the remains of a ringfort. When inspected by ASI in 1966 the site was overgrown with thorn bushes.
