This small fortification is situated on a rocky hillock and measures 20m from NNE to SSW by 18m transversely (0.03ha) within a defence comprising two widely spaced walls, the inner extending round the margin of the summit area, and the outer along the edge of a terrace on the slope below it. The outer is heavily robbed, but short lengths of outer face are visible around its circuit. Substantial portions of the outer face of the inner remain in place, standing up to 0.8m high in six courses, and though no trace of the inner is visible the wall probably measured at least 4m in thickness. The entrance is on the NE and the interior is occupied by at least five rectangular buildings, the best preserved of which measures about 5.6m by 3.2m within a wall 1.6m thick.
