An Iron Age hillfort of roughly circular shape is located on the culmination of a hill, currently covered with dense forest. The earthworks, partly damaged by coal working, enclose the area of 0.40ha.
The site is accessible through a gate and footpath starting from the unmade road towards the Ford Moss Nature Reserve.
