This fort is situated on a low rise in what was an elevated area of open ground before it was planted with coniferous forestry. Oval on plan, it measures about 75m from NE to SW by 50m transversely (0.3ha) within three ramparts, which have been largely reduced to scarps between 1m and 1.7m in height and are probably separated by shallow ditches. There are entrances on the ENE and SW and at the latter the outer pair of ramparts return and unite to either side of the worn hollow running up through the gap. Within the interior there are traces of at least five ring-ditch houses, and probably six, with another four lying between the inner and medial ramparts. One of the latter lies on the SE side of the SW entrance and the other three are on the NE, and it seems likely that at least these four post-date the defences.
