Remains of this Iron Age plateau fort are located north of Pangbourne. Only the western part of the earthworks with a 2m high rampart and traces of a ditch survived. Remains of the counterscarp bank can be traced in the SW part of the hillfort. Interior of the fort has been ploughed. The excavations carried out in 1953 produced Early Iron Age and medieval pottery, as well as the Iron Age shale bracelet.
Access to the site is easiest from the north - there is a public footpath running near the earthworks, which are located on private area.
