"The site of a large oval "Fort" c.50m E-W x 60m N-S is shown on the OS 6" map of 1863. It was located on a gentle S-facing hill slope, but persistent cultivation in the area has removed almost all trace. All that remains is a curvilinear field bank, a drainage ditch and a farm lane which appear to follow the perimeter of the site on the NW. A large lime kiln has been constructed against the W side.
