The monument consists of a low earthen bank forming a rectangle roughly 29 metres long from north to south and 25 metres wide, with the bank itself measuring just over 4 metres in width. Standing less than a metre high on both its inner and outer faces, this modest embankment is accompanied by a shallow outer ditch, or fosse, that runs 4.5 to 5 metres wide but only reaches about 20 centimetres in depth.

The site has undergone various changes over the centuries. Its northwestern corner has been cut through by a modern field bank, disrupting the original rectangular plan. The Ordnance Survey’s 1911 six-inch map depicts the area as tree-covered, and until recently, the interior contained trees that have since been felled. Despite its weathered condition and the poor drainage of the surrounding pasture, the earthwork’s outline remains visible from above, as captured in aerial photography from 2005.

These types of moated sites were typically constructed during the medieval period, often serving as defended farmsteads or minor manor houses. The combination of bank and ditch would have provided both drainage and a degree of security for whoever occupied the site, though the relatively modest dimensions suggest this was likely a local agricultural settlement rather than a major fortification.
