The site consists of a roughly circular mound measuring approximately 32 metres north-northwest to south-southeast and 28.5 metres east-northeast to west-southwest, rising between 3.5 and 5 metres high. The mound’s relatively flat summit spans about 9 metres by 7.5 metres, providing what would have been a strategic vantage point over the surrounding landscape.

The castle’s bailey, a large crescent-shaped enclosure measuring 50.5 metres northwest to southeast and 29 metres northeast to southwest, curves around the motte from the north-northwest through north to the southeast. This defensive area is defined by a scarp that varies dramatically in height from 0.2 to 2 metres, being most pronounced on the northern and eastern sides where it was carved directly into the hillside. The remainder of the bailey’s boundaries are far less distinct, having been weathered and altered over the centuries.

The site bears evidence of later landscaping, likely from the 18th or early 19th century when it was incorporated into a demesne. Mature sycamore and beech trees now grow on a 2.5-metre-wide berm that was cut into the motte between 1.5 and 2 metres above ground level, suggesting the medieval fortification was repurposed as a picturesque feature in a designed landscape. A linear ditch at the southeast edge of the bailey, measuring 8 metres long and 2.5 metres wide, appears to be a relatively modern addition. Another unclassified castle lies just 30 metres to the north, hinting at the strategic importance of this location during medieval times.
