OS 6" map (1957)
In 1951, nothing remained of this fort which was situated on the summit of a narrow ridge with a steep drop of 30' to the NW, and 8' to SE. It is described in 1911 as having two ramparts and ditches, measuring internally 100' NE-SW by 65' transversely. At the S corner a 10' wide roadway opened on a hollow in the interior, around the inner side of which there appeared some building. At the NE end the ditches were 20' wide and 8' and 11' deep, while at the SW they were c.26' wide and 6' and 5'3" deep.
