This 30-metre square platform, slightly raised above the surrounding fields, is defined by scarps on its north and west sides and low rises to the east and south. A shallow fosse, or defensive ditch, still traces its way around the entire perimeter, though centuries of weathering have softened its edges. The site sits on a south-facing slope, taking advantage of the natural drainage and sunlight that would have made it an attractive location for medieval settlers.

Historical Ordnance Survey maps reveal how this site has changed over time. The 1842 map shows it as a rectangular enclosure measuring roughly 40 metres north to south and 35 metres east to west, complete with water channels connecting it to nearby streams. By 1905, it appeared as a raised square platform, whilst the 1936 map depicted it surrounded by water on three sides, fed by a stream from the south. These water management features were likely crucial for both defence and daily life, providing a reliable water source whilst helping to fill the protective moat.

The site met an unceremonious end around the 1950s when it was levelled for agricultural purposes. During this work, however, intriguing artefacts emerged from the earth; fragments of quern stones used for grinding grain and a small piece of glossy slag that hints at metalworking activities. To the north of the main enclosure, two oblong raised areas surrounded by their own shallow ditches can still be traced. These features, probably related to the water channel system shown on the 1842 map, remind us that medieval moated sites were often complex settlements with multiple structures and sophisticated water management systems, rather than simple defensive positions.
