The fort is easily accessible from the plateau to the NW.
'A slight mound at the edge of the steep descents is sufficient protection for the sides that are so well defended by nature; but towards the E. where the ground is weakest, a scarp 7ft high falls on a terrace, and that again upon a second terrace, with a wide trench and two slight ramparts or mounds beyond. To the west there is a much longer scarp 10ft high, a single terrace 9ft wide and a trench and single mound beyond. The change from one system to the other takes place at what seems to have been the chief entrance which passes obliquely through the lines, but there was probably another where the lines end eastward at the steep face.'
D Christison 1900.
