This small fortification comprises two elements, namely a rampart with external ditch cutting off the SE approaches to this steep-side promontory, and an inner enclosure standing to its rear. While no evidence can be advanced for any sequence between the two, the outer may be a promontory work in its own right, with its rampart reduced to no more than 0.6m in height behind a ditch some 10m in breadth, cutting off a triangular area measuring 85m from NE to SW by 50m transversely (0.21ha). The inner enclosure is subsquare on plan, measuring some 35m across (0.12ha) within a ploughed down rampart with an external ditch also about 10m broad. While the rampart of the inner enclosure is only visible on the E, it may have continued around both the N and S sides. The entrance was probably along the N margin of the promontory, where a more modern track can be followed to a gap in the inner enclosure near its NW corner.
