This fort occupies an elongated rocky ridge and is defended by a single wall that can be traced around the greater part of the margin of the summit to enclose an area measuring 69m from E to W by 24m transversely (0.12ha); runs of external face are visible on the NE and NW. The entrance is not visible, but was probably at the E end, where there are traces of a wall enclosing a lower terrace and a stone revetted trackway descends the slope towards the NW. On the N side of the interior the stone footings of two oval huts can be seen overlying the collapsed wall, and immediately to the W of them a stone basin has been cut into the outcrops; it measures 600mm by 500mm and 300mm deep.
