Bach Camp covers some 6¼ acres with a bank, ditch and counterscarp bank to each side. On the north-west side there is a very wide ditch and an entrance. Further entrances are on the south and north ends of the camp, although the southern one is considered to be modern.
The fort sits on a ridge between an unnamed stream to the north and Whyle Brook to the east.
