From a distance, the concentric rings of earthworks read as subtle ripples in the landscape, yet up close the scale becomes apparent: the whole monument stretches nearly 96 metres across, enclosing a raised central platform over 54 metres wide. What makes it particularly notable is that it is bivallate, meaning it was defended not by a single bank and ditch but by two, a form that generally signals either greater status or a heightened need for protection among its early medieval builders.

The earthworks here follow a classic pattern for the type. A raised circular area sits at the centre, ringed first by an earth and stone bank, then by a wide, flat-bottomed fosse (the term for the defensive ditch surrounding such enclosures), and then by an outer bank beyond that. The fosse is especially substantial, reaching up to 16 metres across at the top and roughly 11 metres at its widest point on the northern side. A probable entrance gap, just 2 metres wide, opens at the east. Running inward from that gap is a later field bank cutting straight across the interior, heading west towards a low circular mound about 6 metres in diameter, which may be the surviving trace of a small hut site. The outer bank has been partially levelled between north and east, and there is evidence of quarrying into the fosse on the western and north-western sides, though much of the monument remains well preserved. To the south-west, a 10-metre gap in the outer bank appears to be the result of more recent interference.

The field to the east adds an additional layer of interest. A ruined farmhouse stands in its corner, a building absent from all editions of the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, yet possibly predating the first edition of 1840, since the field boundary shown on that map appears to have been laid out to accommodate the building rather than ignore it. Low earthworks and quarry holes scattered between the ringfort and the ruin seem connected to the farmhouse rather than to the earlier monument. Immediately to the north lies a rectangular enclosure, a separate feature that extends the sense of this as a place that accumulated human activity across many centuries, each generation leaving its own quiet mark on the ground.
