The site of a small fortified settlement lies on a low rise on the edge of the arable ground NNE of Fans. Half the perimeter had already been ploughed flat by the time James Hewat Craw first recorded it, but cropmarks and parchmarks photographed from the air in 1989 have revealed no fewer than three ditches forming a concentric belt 17m deep. At 4m in breadth, the innermost is the broadest, and there is a single entrance on the N. The twin banks depicted by Craw evidently formed the inner and middle ramparts accompanying these ditches, enclosing a slightly oval area measuring about 50m from N to S by 35m transversely (0.14ha). The interior is featureless.
