An oval "Fort" c.50m NE-SW x 50m NW-SE is shown on the 1835 OS 6" map but but the time of the 1863 edition only a "Site of Fort" is recorded. Only faint traces of a low platform survive. The S side can no longer be traced & on the W only a hint of a scarp can be seen. A field boundary has cut across the curve of the site to N & only on NE may part of the original perimeter have survived. Here there is a low bank 2m wide, 0.5m above the interior & 1.7m above the base of a ditch which forms the t'land boundary.
