Hilltop earthwork, occupied in Iron Age and Medieval times. Information is lacking as the site needs excavating. It is presently covered in trees, but is being slowly cleared with the future aim of building a reconstruction of an early Medieval fort on the site.
See website:Here
To the West there is also a small early Medieval Earthwork, on which a reconstruction of a house of that period is being built. To the South; another small Mound.
The mound is not marked on the 1:25000 map!
