2. Promontory fort, probably later prehistoric or iron age, consisting of a broad triangular area of high ground defended naturally on the NE and the SE by steep slopes, now wooded. The NW and SW sides are defended by a semi-circular bank, best preserved on the N, with an internal height of up to 40cm and an external height of 1.3-1.6m. The ditch is only traceable as a flat area outside the bank on an otherwise sloping field.
