Details Site of an alleged encampment, situated on a prominent natural knoll with a flat oval top, circa 20m by 25m. The north arc is sharply defined by artificial scarping, but no other evidence of fortification. Several stones, some of quartz, around the rim of this arc have almost certainly been placed there recently. There is no definite evidence of an antiquity. Calcined bones were found at the opening of the hill a few years before 1867. Nicholas Bogdan suggested that it may be a motte.
