From Pastscape:
"Of the promontory type with a steep fall on all sides except the S. The camp with its defences occupies an area of about 27 acres and is of irregular oval form. At the S end it is defended by a rampart now rising about 5 1/2 feet above the ground outside; the defences on the other sides are formed by scarping the natural slope; the scarp has a berm along the greater part of its length with traces of an outer bank to the berm on the W side. There is a raking entrance cut through the rock on the NE side A second entrance at the extreme N end and a third in the middle of the W side; the two latter may be of later date. "
