This monument includes a large univallate hillfort situated in a commanding position on a steep sided hill overlooking the River Teme. The monument survives as an irregular elongated hillfort enclosure with a modified escarpment encompassing the top of the hill. The hillfort is orientated north east to south west and is up to 355m long and 155m wide tapering in the centre. The north, north eastern and southern sides are defined by a counterscarp rampart bank up to 1.2m high. The remaining sides are defined by an earthen rampart up to 5.8m high on top of the natural escarpment. The hillfort has a large gap approximately 56m long on the south eastern side of the bank and an entrance gap at the south eastern corner and an inturned entrance gap on the western side.

Further archaeological features survive in the vicinity of the monument, but are not currently protected because they have not been formally assessed.
