Located on a gentle rise about 210 metres west of a confirmed ringfort, this almost perfectly square earthwork measures roughly 21 metres on each side. The site is defined by a modest earthen bank with faint traces of what appears to be an external ditch, or fosse, running around its perimeter. Notably, the corners of the bank stand slightly higher than the rest of the structure, a feature that has caught the attention of researchers.

The monument presents something of a mystery to historians and archaeologists. Its square shape and elevated corners suggest it could be a moated site, a type of medieval fortified homestead typically dating from the 13th to 15th centuries. However, the 1837 Ordnance Survey map throws a spanner in the works; rather than marking it as an antiquity, the surveyors simply drew it as a small square field or enclosure. This raises the intriguing possibility that what appears to be an ancient earthwork might actually be a relatively modern field boundary created after 1700.

Several gaps now breach the earthen bank, though none appear to be original entrance features, making it difficult to determine how the enclosure was originally accessed. Whether this site represents a medieval moated homestead that somehow escaped the notice of 19th century surveyors, or simply an unusually shaped post medieval field, remains an open question. The ambiguity surrounding its origins makes it a fascinating example of how even seemingly straightforward archaeological features can defy easy categorisation.
