Description
A subcircular enclosure, c.22m by 18m, set against steep slopes to the N, is defined by a bank and ditch. Elements of an outer enclosure have been observed to the E. Excavations in 1899 revealed two lines of stake-holes upon the bank, apparently revetments for a rampart. Finds were predominantly medieval, with some later material.
