It has been a scheduled monument since 26 November 1928.[1][2] The fort is one of the largest earthworks in Cornwall. It is an oval enclosure, area about {{convert|7.5|ha}}. There are two concentric ramparts and ditches; the ramparts are up to {{convert|5.8|m|ft}} high, with ditches up to {{convert|2.7|m|ft}} deep.
