The Frith is a small univallate Iron Age hillfort to the north of Silchester Roman/Iron Age town. The single bank covers all sides apart from the south east and at the most is about 1.5 Meters high on the western edge. The ditch is also traceable for the length of the bank all be it at varying states.
