The enclosure measures an impressive 71.3 metres from northwest to southeast and 24.3 metres across, with its boundaries marked by a substantial earthen bank that rises over a metre high in places. The broad, rounded bank, roughly four metres wide, creates a distinctive profile against the pastoral setting, particularly prominent along the northern side where the northwest and northeast corners remain well preserved.

The site’s strategic position becomes clear when you consider its neighbours: a medieval church stands just 8.2 metres to the west, whilst a fortified house with its defensive bawn lies approximately 50 metres to the east. This proximity suggests the enclosure formed an integral part of the medieval settlement, perhaps serving as additional living quarters, storage, or agricultural space for the community centred around the church and fortified residence. The eastern side cleverly incorporates the ridge’s natural slope into its defences, eliminating the need for additional earthworks on that flank.

Archaeological surveys have revealed intriguing details about the enclosure’s construction. Unlike many similar sites, no evidence of a protective fosse, or ditch, has been found around the perimeter, suggesting either a different defensive strategy or a primarily non-military function. The remarkably flat interior would have provided ample space for buildings or activities, though no entrance is currently visible. To the south-southeast, a now-levelled ringfort once completed this cluster of medieval structures, offering a glimpse into how densely occupied this ridge must have been during its heyday.
