Measuring roughly 130 metres north to south and 110 metres east to west, it is closer in scale to a small field system than to the kind of ringfort, a circular or oval earthwork enclosure typically associated with early medieval farmsteads, that one might expect to find recorded in an archaeological inventory.

What makes its survival quietly interesting is how the enclosure has persisted across time, not as an obvious monument but as a boundary absorbed into the working landscape. Both the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, surveyed around 1840, and the revised second edition of 1907 show it clearly, which means it was legible enough to cartographers across two separate surveys spanning nearly seventy years. Today the north, east, and south-east portions of its perimeter survive as a field boundary, the kind of line that a farmer might maintain without knowing, or much caring, what it originally marked. The south, west, and northern arc has been absorbed into scrub and overgrowth, which obscures the line but has also, in its way, protected it from more active disturbance. A smaller enclosure sits immediately to the south, suggesting this part of the ridge may have seen some form of organised use or settlement across a considerable stretch of time, though exactly what kind, and by whom, the ground has not yet given up.
