The first hillock or little fort runs north-east and south-west or at nearly a right angle to the ridge on which the fort is placed, its highest point being towards the south-west. This hillock offers an irregular surface with numerous small plateau having precipitous or steeply sloping sides. These latter are all protected by ruined walls composed mostly of rounded stones, showing no signs of vitrifaction. The soil at the top of this fort is of a character similar to that found in ancient habitations. It is rich and loamy. Only slight digging was undertaken here, but what was done showed evidence of occupation of probably similar date to the other places.
