diameter 14 paces; height 1 1/2ft. Ditched (B7).
12.0m in diameter, 0.4m maximum height. traces of a ditch visible as a strip of darker grass. Mound in fair condition (B8).
On a knoll immediately south of the hillfort is a mound measuring 9.8m in diameter by 0.5m high may be a barrow. Although no ditch is apparent, a slight berm around the south and west may mark the site of one. This is probably the barrow described by Dyer as No 4, but a confusing grid reference has led to it not being scheduled (B9).
