This small fortification is situated on the summit of a rocky ridge rising some 10m or so above the surrounding moorland. Sub-rectangular on plan, it measures 28m from N to S by 18.3m transversely (0.05ha) within a wall 4m in maximum thickness and where it is best preserved on the N 1m in height. The entrance is not visible, and the only feature within the interior is a stony bank that crosses from N to S and is probably associated with the settlement of later buildings that lies around the foot of the ridge.
