This earthwork forms part of a larger moated site complex, sitting directly adjacent to another moated enclosure to the south. While time and farming have largely levelled what was once a substantial structure, careful observation reveals the ghost of its former boundaries.

The 1905 Ordnance Survey maps captured this site when it was more clearly defined, showing a rectangular enclosure measuring approximately 40 metres north to south and 35 metres east to west. Today, only subtle traces remain; a low scarp along the northern edge, barely 30 centimetres high and a metre and a half wide, marks where the enclosure once stood. The depression to the north of this scarp likely represents an infilled fosse, or defensive ditch, that once separated this monument from its neighbouring moated site. The eastern end shows more definition, where the earthwork curves towards the south-southeast, though this section appears to have been incorporated into later field boundaries.

The landscape here reveals multiple phases of use and modification. A diagonal bank running northeast to southwest across the site continues the line of a field boundary that also crosses through the adjacent moated enclosure, suggesting agricultural reorganisation long after the site’s original purpose was forgotten. The surrounding area contains an intricate network of related features: a leat system to the northwest and northeast that would have managed water flow, and field systems to the south and southeast that speak to the area’s long agricultural history. These overlapping layers of earthworks create a palimpsest in the landscape, where medieval defensive structures gradually gave way to the practical needs of farming life.
