Described by the Commission in 1964 as an oval enclosure measuring 50m long (E-W) by 30m wide, enclosing an area of 0.1ha. The N side is formed by a natural edge where the ground falls away very steeply. The S side is defended by a massive bank running in a curve, 12m wide at base, nearly 3m high internally and 1.5m externally; the impression of a wide shallow ditch outside the rampart is mainly caused by an increase in the angle of the natural slope. A slighter continuation of the bank can be traced round either end of the enclosure. The position of the entrance is uncertain.
