This moated site occupies a sub-rectangular area measuring roughly 42 metres from northeast to southwest and 32 metres from northwest to southeast. The most striking feature is its earthen scarp, which rises about half a metre high and forms the southeastern to eastern boundary of the site. Outside this defensive edge lies a fosse, or defensive ditch, approximately 40 centimetres deep with a base width of two metres, accompanied by a counter-scarp bank that stands about a quarter of a metre high on the interior side and three-quarters of a metre on the exterior.

The site’s perimeter follows an intriguing pattern; the scarped edge curves gently from the south-southeast towards the west and from the north-northwest to the east, whilst maintaining a straight line from west to north-northwest, with both corners pleasantly rounded. A metalled avenue, which leads to a nearby farmyard to the northeast, has truncated the original earthwork from east to south-southeast, providing a glimpse into how modern agricultural life has intersected with these ancient remains.

The interior of the moated site sits noticeably higher than the surrounding countryside, with the ground sloping gently towards the centre in a shallow bowl formation. Along the edge where the metalled road runs, there’s a more pronounced drop in elevation, whilst a slight, uneven depression runs immediately inside the scarped edge to the south-southeast. These subtle variations in the landscape reveal the careful engineering that went into creating this defensive structure, likely dating from the Anglo-Norman period when such moated sites served as fortified farmsteads for colonising settlers.
