This fort which occupies the summit of a rocky hillock was once roughly oval on plan, but its NW flank has been removed by quarrying. The interior now measures about 40m from NE to SW by at least 28m transversely (0.09ha) within a band of rubble little more than 2m in thickness, with several runs of outer face on the E. Nothing is visible of the entrance, but a natural gully on the N probably marks its position. Apart from what may be shallow quarry scoops immediately to the rear of the wall on the S, the only other features within the interior are a modern well-head and a stance for a flagpole.
