This roughly rectangular enclosure, measuring approximately 38 metres north to south and 20 metres east to west, sits on land that slopes northward through grassland, commanding impressive views across the countryside from the north, east, and west. Though the monument was levelled during the late 1960s, its footprint remains clearly visible at ground level, marked by a spread of stones that once formed a substantial bank about 6 metres wide.

The site’s defensive features are still discernible despite centuries of weathering and deliberate levelling. A shallow, wide fosse, or defensive ditch, once surrounded the enclosure; its course can still be traced by the rich grass and nettle growth that marks where it ran, particularly well preserved along the northern and eastern sides. Historical records from 1964 describe the site in greater detail, noting that the bank once stood 0.3 metres above the interior level and an impressive 1.8 metres above the fosse. The fosse itself was recorded as being 4.5 metres wide and 1.5 metres deep, with trees growing within it at the time of that survey.

The enclosure would have served as a fortified homestead during the medieval period, its raised banks and deep ditch providing both defensive capabilities and a statement of status in the landscape. Field clearance over the years has resulted in numerous boulders being dumped on the site, and whilst the southern side shows the most intact defensive earthworks, the other sides appear to have suffered more damage, possibly from the fosse being deliberately filled in. The level interior platform contrasts with the sloping ground outside, demonstrating the considerable earth moving efforts undertaken by its medieval builders to create this defended space.
