Summary

Slight earthwork remains of a probable rectangular structure on the ridge of Wigford Down, south of the summit, which appears to have been attached to a reave. The ruined walls survive as a low turf-covered bank of 1.3m wide and 0.2m high. The structure has a rectangular footprint with interior dimensions of approximately 5.4m by 2.7m and a level floor. The position of the entrance is not visible. No date is known for this feature, though the extremely spread character of the walls would suggest Medieval.
