The main feature is a rectangular enclosure, roughly 19 metres from east to west, defined by two earthen banks with a shallow ditch running between them. Though the eastern section of the outer bank has been disrupted by a modern roadway, the southern and western portions remain clearly visible, offering a glimpse into how this medieval defensive structure once appeared.

The site’s defences extend well beyond the central enclosure. A broad earthen bank curves from west to east about 12 metres north of the main structure, whilst another sweeps from west to southeast some 24 metres to the south. These outer earthworks suggest a more complex defensive arrangement than a simple moated homestead. Just 30 metres southwest of the southern bank, traces of an ancient field system reveal small rectangular enclosures, evidence of the agricultural activity that once sustained the site’s inhabitants.

The surrounding landscape tells a broader story of medieval settlement. A castle, recorded as WM008-091, sits 320 metres to the south, indicating this area held strategic importance. On a ridge 70 metres southwest, cultivation ridges run northwest to southeast alongside what appears to be a rectangular house site, catalogued as WM008-112. Together, these features paint a picture of a thriving medieval community, with the moated site possibly serving as a fortified residence for a local lord or prosperous farming family during the Anglo-Norman period.
