Thought to date from the Iron Age. A roughly circular enclosure, a 5m wide rock cut ditch surrounds the site. Natural outcrops of stone are used in the construction as additional boundaries.

Building platforms have been identified within the enclosure.

A better view of the 'enclosure' can be seen from Robin Hood's Stride.
