Located on a riverine spur on Doddington North Moor and close to Roughting Linn waterfall, a multivallate promontory fort. The site comprises a maximum of five well-preserved ramparts cutting off the neck of the promontory in the SE where the ground is less steep. The arc of the ramparts terminate on the edge of the spur. No evidence of ditches. A single inturned entrance lies in the N and traces of a counterscarp bank have been observed curving into the entrance. No internal features have been identified. A rock with approximately 60 cup and ring marks lies a few metres outside the rampart in the SE. Recorded on 1856-65 OS mapping. The site is unexcavated and undated. Scheduled
