Remains of a vitrified fort, consisting of a denuded vitrified wall with no evident entrance. A gap in the southwest is a mutilation to facilitate robbing. Digging for road-metal in the north exposed four continuous boulders of the inner wall face and the partly vitrified rubble core. Cropmarks of three outer works can be seen as curving lines with a possible gap, circa 2.5m wide, evident in each. The line of the inner outerwork can be traced as a change of slope around the southeast side of the knoll and as a scarp around the southwest side. There is no sign of the other two continuing but they may have terminated on what would have been bog at the base of the knoll in the south and west.
