The rocky summit of Norman's Law, commanding extensive views in all directions, has formed the natural focus for a series of defensive enclosures of several phases. The earlier phases may be indicated by the walls that take in the summit area (some 220 m by 75 m) and the lower terraces to the south, while the later phase of defence is probably the small fort on the summit, which measures about 50 m by 30 m within a wall up to 5m in thickness with inner and outer facing-stones visible.
There are the traces of many round stone-walled houses on the summit and on the lower terraces, some of them associated with small enclosures, several of which appear to be later than the periods of fortification.
