The site consists of a substantial earthen mound, roughly 45 metres across at its base and standing between 7.5 and 10.4 metres high depending on which side you approach from. The flat top of the motte spans about 12 metres and has a distinctive concave shape, with fragments of stonework still visible amongst the grass and scattered trees. A protective ditch, or fosse, encircles the mound, varying in width from 5 to 14 metres.

Attached to the southeastern side of the motte lies a crescent-shaped bailey, a defended courtyard that would have housed various buildings and activities essential to medieval life. This raised platform measures approximately 50 metres east to west and 22 metres north to south, surrounded by its own defensive ditch about 12 metres wide. Evidence suggests a hut once stood on the southern edge of the bailey, whilst a small rectangular enclosure, measuring 18 by 8 metres and defined by low earthen banks, sits just beyond the bailey’s southeastern boundary.

The wider landscape reveals additional features that may have been part of this medieval complex. Another rectangular enclosure can be found about 30 metres southwest of the bailey, whilst a separate mound lies roughly 100 metres west-northwest of the main motte. Despite archaeological excavations conducted to the west of the site in 2004, no artefacts directly related to the fortification were recovered, leaving many questions about its precise date and the identity of its builders unanswered.
