This fort occupies a low hillock which had been incorporated into a roundel in the designed landscape around Longfaugh by the mid 18th century. Oval on plan, it measures about 88m from NE to SW by 75m transversely (0.5ha) within twin ramparts with a broad medial ditch. Both ramparts have been mutilated at various points around the circuit, the outer overlain by the plantation boundary, but where best preserved the inner still stands 1.5m high internally and up to 4.5m externally above the bottom of the ditch. The entrance was probably on the E, where a large sector of the inner rampart has been largely levelled, but the purpose of another bank between the two ramparts on the S side of this gap is unknown. The interior is featureless.
