Cropmarks have revealed the site of a fort on the hillock that forms the W end of the low spur that provides an elevated position for the 18th century windmill above Monkton. The mill tower stands towards the E end of the fort, which is oval on plan and measures about 95m from E to W by 80m transversely (0.59ha) within a ditch between 5m and 6m in breadth. Allowing for the presence of an internal rampart, the defences enclosed about 0.45ha and were pierced by an entrance on the W. Apart from the mill tower, the only feature visible within the interior is a minor ditch no more than 2m in breadth, which lies about 10m within the main ditch around the W quarter.
