This medieval earthwork, which appears on maps dating back to 1837, consists of a large rectangular enclosure measuring approximately 38 metres from north to south and 30 metres from east to west. The site’s defensive features include a low scarp, a broad shallow ditch (or fosse), and remnants of an earthen bank that once ran along its southern edge.

What makes this particular site intriguing is its well-preserved entrance, located on the northern side. Here, visitors can still make out a slight depression in the scarp’s upper edge, about 7.8 metres wide at the top, alongside a subtle causeway crossing the fosse. This raised pathway, roughly 3.2 metres wide and standing just 20 centimetres high, would have provided the main access point to the enclosed area during its active use, likely in the medieval period.

Today, the site remains in pasture land, with a large quarry hole immediately to the north serving as a reminder of more recent human activity in the area. While time has softened the earthwork’s once-imposing defensive features, the basic layout remains clearly visible to those who know what to look for; a rectangular footprint of earth and ditch that once protected whatever stood within, whether a fortified farmstead, manor house, or other medieval structure long since vanished from the landscape.
