This sub-rectangular enclosure, measuring roughly 33 metres north to south and 26 metres east to west, is defined by the remnants of substantial earthen banks. These defensive earthworks, which reach an overall width of 7 metres, still stand up to 1.45 metres high on their outer face, though only 0.45 metres on the interior side. The northern, southern, and partial western boundaries remain clearly visible, whilst the eastern side shows no surviving enclosing elements, matching what appears on the latest Ordnance Survey six-inch maps.

The site’s defensive character is further emphasised by traces of a fosse, or water-filled ditch, that runs along the northern perimeter. This feature measures 6.6 metres in total width with a basal width of 3.7 metres, though it now only reaches a depth of 0.3 metres. Faint traces of similar ditching can be detected along the southern edge. The western side of the enclosure shows signs of disturbance, possibly from later quarrying activities that have disrupted the southern half of that boundary.

The interior of the site follows the natural contours of the land, sloping sharply downward towards the west in line with the hillside’s prevailing gradient. Just beyond the enclosure’s boundaries, the landscape reveals interesting geological features; a swallow hole lies immediately to the south, whilst a deep land drain runs east to west just southwest of the site. These natural and man-made water management features hint at the ongoing challenges of controlling water flow around this elevated defensive position, concerns that would have been equally pressing for its medieval inhabitants.
