Slight univallate hillfort, Late Bronze Age-early Iron Age (c.8th to 5th centuries BC). Slight univallate hillforts have generally been interpreted as stock enclosures, redistribution centres, places of refuge and permanent settlements. This hillfort survives as a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single stony rampart bank of up to 7.6 m wide and 2.2 m high externally with a buried outer ditch of up to 7 m wide. There is a simple entrance to the south. The interior of the hillfort is approximately 0.6 m higher than the height of the surrounding ground level. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1003323
