A substantial univallate enclosure, about 350m east-west by 105-135m, set along a steep-sided east-west ridge between two streams; defined by a single bank, ditched and counterscarped; there is an entrance on the south, where excavation, 1963-4, revealed traces of an earlier, stone-walled enclosure: occupation is attested from the Iron Age through to the Romano-British period.
