What remains is a roughly square platform, about eight metres across in each direction, defined by a scarp, a step-like earthen edge, that varies considerably in height depending on which side you approach. To the west and south, the ground drops away by less than a metre. To the north and east, the scarp rises to around two and a half metres, a difference that reflects the natural fall of the ridge and the degree to which soil was either cut back or built up when the structure was originally set out. The interior, whatever once stood upon it, is level.

The second edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map, published in 1906, shows the building still present, sitting in the north-western quadrant of a larger enclosure. By the time fieldwork recorded the site, the building itself had vanished above ground, leaving only this raised platform with its slightly outward-bulging scarp at the southern end of the east side, a detail that may point to a former entrance, a buttress, or simply the slow creep of earth over decades. What the building was used for, who built it, and when it ceased to function are questions the earthwork alone cannot answer. Its presence on the 1906 map places it firmly within the post-medieval landscape, but the platform beneath it could be older, reused and built over in ways that are now difficult to unpick without excavation.
