The well defendable entrances are 1) on the south west side, at the point of the tear 2) a very complex entrance on the south east side, and 3) a prolonged entrance on the north east side gives a killing floor of some length. The raised interior is likely older than the surrounding massive ramparts, and can be discerned by a long curved earthwork running N-S, curving to the west. Hut platforms are numerous within this area.
The springs are in the south east entrance, and the near north east corner. The former is easily spotted, the latter was not found on the visit.
Access is allowed; follow the footpath signs from Aston on Clun, or from the south, and enter the fort from the NE through a gate with a latch.
