The roughly D-shaped earthwork, measuring about 32 metres east to west and 28 metres north to south, sits on a gentle south-facing slope with a stream running some 35 metres to the south-west. Its defining feature is an earthen bank, accompanied for much of its circuit by a shallow fosse, which is the term for the ditch typically dug to provide material for such a bank, running from the south-west around to the north and south-east. Yet nowhere along this perimeter is there a visible entrance, which is the kind of detail that makes a site quietly puzzling rather than simply unremarkable.

The enclosure has not given up many answers. Archaeological testing carried out immediately to the west, recorded under excavation licence 02E0312 and reported by Carey in 2004, failed to recover any related material. In other words, the ground beside it offered no artefacts, no charcoal, no structural traces that might tie the feature to a particular period or purpose. The bank itself is modest, rising only about 0.3 metres on its exterior face, and the fosse is shallow, with a depth of roughly 0.1 to 0.2 metres. These are not dramatic earthworks. The landscape has also been working against legibility for some time: a road bank cuts across the southern perimeter on an east-west line, and a field bank clips the fosse to the east, so what survives is already a truncated version of whatever was originally here. Whether this was a ringfort, a stock enclosure, or something else entirely remains genuinely open.
