The earthwork enclosure measures approximately 43.5 metres from northeast to southwest and 58 metres from northwest to southeast, with gently curving corners that soften its geometric form. A substantial bank, varying in width from 4.3 to 7.4 metres, defines the perimeter alongside a defensive fosse or ditch that ranges from 2.2 to 3.4 metres wide. The northeast side features particularly impressive defences, with the fosse reaching depths of over a metre and an additional outer bank providing extra protection at the eastern end.

The interior of the site reveals clear evidence of medieval occupation, most notably a house platform built into the northwest sector, cleverly using the natural rise of the slope and incorporating the existing bank into its structure. The platform stands nearly a metre high, defined by a distinct scarp that marks where the dwelling once stood. The remainder of the interior has been levelled, though the abundance of rushes suggests it remains quite waterlogged; a condition that may have been different when the site was actively occupied.

Several intriguing features add to the site’s character. Near the western angle on the southwest side, a circular depression marks what the 1903-04 Ordnance Survey map rather mysteriously labelled as a ‘cave’. At the southern corner, the outer bank curves away from the main enclosure before terminating at a modern field boundary ditch. According to historical research by Barry in 1977, the fosse was originally fed by a local spring, which would have kept the defensive ditch filled with water; a crucial element in the site’s medieval defensive system.
