This oval fort, which occupies a prominent hill, is defended by a rampart with an internal quarry ditch built some way below the summit. On the N, where best preserved, the ditch measures about 3m in width and the rampart about 4m in thickness; the entrance probably lay on the ENE where both ditch and rampart have been destroyed. In the interior there is a track of no great age.
