Details Remains of promontory fort on the east side of the Tore of Troup. A pair of ditches transverse a horsebacked promontory between two meltwater channels creating an enclosure circa 140m northeast to southwest by circa 50m transversely. A separate bank, possibly an outer defence, cuts across the promontory to the northeast.
