This small fortification is situated on the summit of a knoll that falls away steeply everywhere except the W, where it can be approached across relatively level ground. Oval on plan, it measures about 30m from N to S by 15m transversely (0.04ha) within a wall reduced on the S and W to a bank of rubble some 6m in thickness by up to 1.4m in height externally and 1m internally, and elsewhere apparently robbed entirely. The entrance is on the W, where an old dyke also mounts the flank of the knoll. The interior is featureless, but the OS noted the footings of two oval structures in the rubble of the wall to either side of the entrance.
