Described by Hunt (1951, 73) as a ‘raised platform ringfort with fosse and Norman house site on top’. Excavated by Hunt in 1949, who summarised his results as following; ‘This year’s work gave additional confirmation that the structure was not, as its shape suggested, a Norman erection. Evidence of a number of superimposed buildings was found, and the several phases of the growth of the Down from a simple ringfort with low bank to its present Motte-like form, were traced. Section of the ground plans of several houses were revealed pointing to an intensive habitation from Early Christian times, and the former existence of a second and outer fosse was shown. A noteworthy feature of the excavation was the remarkable state of preservation of much of the organic material found' (Hunt 1951, 71-6).
