This fort, which survived relatively intact until 1856 but had been ploughed down by 1899, is now largely known only as a cropmark, though in 1963 faint traces of its defences were still visible on the NW and SE. The cropmarks are not particularly distinct, representing up to three concentric ditches, but it is shown as a bivallate fort on the 1st edition OS 25-inch map, with an oval interior measuring about 60m from NW to SE by 50m transversely (0.23ha) and some elements of the cropmarks on the SE are possibly reflect the presence of internal quarry scoop behind the inner rampart. The position of the entrance is unknown.
