Description
English Heritage's Earthwork Survey Report of November 2000 identified that immediately downslope of the outer bank two slight scarps run parallel with the line of the main rampart. Alongside are four small circular platforms cut into the hillside measuring an average of 3.1m by 2.7m by 0.1m deep. Three more platforms were noted some 20m further west with fragments of asociated scarps. The earthworks are extremely slight and not easily distinguishable from natural terraces and soil creep (B17).
