[1] It has a single rampart, with external ditch, enclosing an area of about 7 hectares (17 acres); about 500 metres (1,600 ft) long west-to-east, and 137 metres (449 ft) wide.

At the south-east and south-west corners there are inturned entrances.

[1] [2] The site was examined between 1948 and 1951; it was found that the ramparts seem to have internal revetments.

The material suggests occupation similar to that of the nearby hillforts Dinedor Camp and Sutton Walls.

[2] During the English Civil War, the hill was occupied briefly in 1642 by a Royalist army under Lord Herbert; in 1645 it was occupied by a Scots army under the Earl of Leven who undertook an unsuccessful siege of Hereford in August that year.
