In undulating rocky pasture on a slight WSW-facing slope and within a field system (SL033-070----). The enclosure lies above a sharp fall of ground on its N side and abuts a natural cliff (H 2.5-3.5m) to S. A slightly raised pentagonal area (38m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m) SW-NNE. The bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 3.8m including the height of the natural slope) lies on the crest of a natural break of slope NW-N. A low earth and stone field boundary lies on the approximate line of the enclosure bank NNE-SE. From SE-SW, the limit of the enclosure is defined by an E-W orientated natural cliff which rises 2.5-3.5m above the interior. From SW-NW the bank consists of large limestone rocks (c. 0.5m x 0.5m x 0.3m) spaced 2-4m apart with earth and stone in between. These large rocks are not visible NW-NNE where the bank is purely of earth and stone. The interior is under grass, clear of overgrowth, slopes gently down to WSW and the W portion is slightly raised to compensate for the hillslope.

In undulating rocky pasture, on the E side of a cliff and within a field system (SL033-070----). A slightly raised roughly pentagonal area (18m N-S; 14m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) on the N, E and S sides. A vertical cliff (H 2m) defines the W side of the interior. The cliff changes direction, at an oblique angle, from a NNW-ESE orientation to a NE-SW orientation at W giving the interior its pentagonal shape. The earth and stone bank has a discontinuous outer facing of upright limestone slabs on the N and half of the E side. There are many small gaps (Wth 0.7-1m) through the bank. The interior is undulating and clear of overgrowth. To SE of centre is a weathered rectangular limestone block (L 0.9m; Wth 0.7m; H 0.65m; long axis E-W) with possible packing-stones under its N side. A denuded relict earth and stone field boundary (L 16m, oriented ENE-WSW) abuts the NE corner of the fort. This field boundary is visible in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3043028-9) where it is seen to turn to the N c. 20m from the fort towards a cliff-edge fort (SL033-056----) c. 50m to N. Another relict boundary visible in the same photograph abutting the SW corner of the fort is not visible at ground level.

In pasture, on a broad rise on a slight NNE-facing slope. A roughly circular raised area (28m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.3m) with a slight internal lip (H 0.35m) SE-NW, by an earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) NW-N and by a field boundary NE-SE. A WSW-ENE field boundary is built 1m outside the external base of the bank NW-N and it is possible that this section of bank is not an original feature but the result of disturbance to the edge of the interior during construction of the field boundary. There is an entrance at W consisting of a ramp (Wth 3m) with a causeway across the fosse. An external fosse (D 0.2m) is evident SE-NW. The interior slopes slightly down to NE and is dry and clear of overgrowth.

- SL033-187: House - 18th/19th century, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL033-187----. Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified 'Enclosure(s)'. Not included in the RMP (1995). The original information came from aerial photograph (IASAP, 3043028-9). A field inspection in 1992 recorded that there were no features here except a quarry hole. (SMR file). It was revisited as the aerial photograph showed foundations of rectangular structures likely to be of 18th/19th century date. In undulating pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. The fragmentary remains of a rectangular house (19m NE-SW; 5m NW-SE) with earth and stone walls (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.25m). The walls survive on NE, SE and part of NW sides. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. A return (L 2m) of the NW wall suggests a possible internal division, dividing the house into rooms of roughly equal size. A thickening of the SE wall (L 2.6m; T 1.55m) toward its SW end indicates the probable position of the fireplace. An earth and stone bank extends SE from E corner of this house linking it to another rectangular structure (12m NW-SE; 7m SW-NE) immediately to E. This structure, which may have been an outhouse, has earth and stone walls (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.4m) on all sides apart from NW where edge is defined by an inward facing scarp (H 0.75m). Breaks in the wall at the SW corner (Wth 1.8m) and at the SE end of NE wall (Wth 1.7m) may have been entrances. The interior is level with no evidence for internal division. The interior is flush with the external ground level on all sides except at NW where it is sunken. This is probably post-1700 AD in date.
