This fort is situated in a roundel at the junction of three old shelter belts on the summit of Bordlands Hill. Roughly circular on plan, it measures about 55m in diameter (0.23ha) within twin ramparts which probably flanked a medial ditch, though subsequent cultivation has obliterated the outer rampart on the NW and NE and obscured the presence of the ditch; where best preserved the inner and outer ramparts are about 1.8m and 0.9m high respectively. The entrance is on the E, and the only feature in the interior, which is heavily overgrown, is a relatively recent quarry.
