What may remain of the ramparts is probably underneath fern, fireweed, and brambles. It has been argued to be a defended Iron Age settlement, shorn up on 3 sides by human efforts, defining an area about 60 by 90 feet. A ditch and bank is supposed to be visible on the W. Coming off the Long Mynd from the road to the west, the hill's defensive capability is obvious.
