Nordy Bank is a univallate (having a single circuit of ramparts for enclosure and defence) hill fort situated on the western end of a spur running west from the main plateau of Brown Clee Hill. The maximum dimensions of the oval enclosure are by , and it covers an area of . The main entrance seems to be on the northeastern portion, facing along the ridge. A broadening and lowering of the ramparts here suggest that there may have been a gatehouse structure. A secondary entrance lies halfway along the southern side; this one lies above a steep slope making it less vulnerable to attack, and there is no sign of a guard-house here. The other gaps in the rampart are thought to be modern. There are some slight indications of the remains of structures on the inner side of the rampart; this is most notable in the northwestern part where an square building seems to have been located. The fort will probably have been used as a stock enclosure, a place of refuge and a permanent settlement.
