The oval enclosure at Pilcornswell measures about 65m north-west to south-east by 80m. It rests on steep natural slopes on the north-west and south-west, elsewhere defined by a bank, ditch and counterscarp, having a north-east facing entrance, elaborated by a curvilinear banked area, about 20m deep. A limited excavation yielded 5th-2nd century radio-carbon dates, which were tied to an episode of rampart destruction; the site produced an unstratified Romano-British glass sherd.
