The iron-age structure was built around a neolithic causewayed enclosure, of which very little can be seen on the ground.
There is little evidence for any activity in the intervening bronze-age, but there are two linear earthworks to the north-west, outside the main ramparts, and the remains of a possible round barrow within the ramparts, which may have been built during this period.
The hill is now dominated by two unsightly telecommunications aerials.
