Level terrain hillfort located on low gravel-capped plateau above River Dun directly to N and its confluence with River Test on E. Moderate slopes to river to N, gentle to E and W and moderate, rising to S. Sub-circular shape with a flattened N side, enclosing c. 2ha. Defined by bank and ditch, although most of site reduced by ploughing, with W levelled and cannot be traced and S also badly damaged. Traces of a possible second bank to S and SE, not visible on the ground but shown on OS map and LiDAR. Best on N where bank 1.22m above interior and 2.8m above ploughed external ditch. Formerly feint break in rampart on E as possible entrance, but no longer discernible although shown on LiDAR. Small excavation by Test Valley Archaeological Committee 1980-1 - no details. Possible sunken way approaching the site and intersecting it at the SW, continuation of modern Pain Hill, shown on LiDAR (P. Reilly, Citizen Science). On OS 1:25,000 map (1958). Undated.
