Pastscape calls this an unfinished hillfort, but its banks are so slight that hilltop settlement may be more apt. It is made up of two enclosures and both enclosures are incomplete. The outer, approximately 120m by 140m (1.28ha) and is demarcated by a scarp averaging 2.5m in length and from 0.3m to 1.4m. in height; the inner, approximately 75m in diameter (0.4 ha), has a scarp not exceeding 2.0m in length and 0.6m in height. The earthworks are not concentric, the inter space varying from 28m in width on the south to 40m on the north-east side.
Update November 2019: This fort is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Nattadon Fort. The site is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 445576 and as MDV8261 (Nattadon Hillfort, Chagford) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER.
