The fort sits atop Knolls Down and is excellently defended to the south, south west, and east, from the very steeply sloped topology [1]. To the north the land is less steep, and is mostly bounded by Oakhill Wood [1]. To the west the ground rises to the true summit of Haydown Hill [1]. The site is located at grid reference SU319565, south of the village and civil parish of Fosbury in Wiltshire [1]. It lies at a height of 254m AOD [1].
