According to Historic England it is a "large univallate hill fort" that "survives well". It is on the top of a hill or ridge overlooking a junction of the Whyle Brook. It has three entrances, though one may be modern (Historic England and Megalithic portal variously describe the modern entrance as western or southern). It has only one line of ramparts, 5.1 metres at the highest point, which enclose about 4.1 hectares. It has been a scheduled monument since 1938. The site has not yet been dated, but historic England are confident that there is archeological evidence as yet not dug. [1] [2]
