There are two banks and associated ditches, the larger, inner bank is about 20' high and the outer 3' high. The inner space of the camp is set on a slope and traces can be seen of hut foundations. The camp affords far reaching views in all directions. It is one of the higher camps in this area at around 400 metres.
