NT 863 585. Cropmarks reveal the site of a fort 200m N of Oldcastles farm; three ditches are visible on air photographs, (Visible on CUCAP and RCAHMS air photographs, flown 1976 and 1978), representing at least two phases of construction. One phase comprises the two outer ditches which enclose an oval area measuring about 90m in maximum diameter. The main entrance is on the W, where the terminals of the outer ditch are inturned, but there is also a simple break in the ditches on the N. The other phase is represented by the inner ditch, which encloses a circular area, about 70m in diameter with an entrance on the E, and possibly a second on the W.

RCAHMS 1980, visited April 1979.
