What makes it worth noticing is the way it was built: one arc of its boundary, running from the south-south-east around to the north, is formed by large stones set upright on their edges, some standing up to 1.1 metres tall and nearly 1.8 metres long. The opposite arc, completing the oval from north back down to the south-south-east, relies instead on a natural or modified scarp, a low earthen edge between 0.2 and 1 metre high. The two techniques working together to form a single boundary give the structure an improvised quality, as though whoever built it was reading the ground carefully and using what it offered.

The enclosure measures roughly 29 metres north to south and 25 metres east to west, placing it in the general range of a field enclosure or small settlement boundary rather than a monument of purely ceremonial scale. It sits within what is recorded as a multiperiod field system, meaning the surrounding landscape shows evidence of farming and land management from more than one distinct era, with boundaries, field lines, and traces of use accumulating over a long stretch of time. The enclosure itself appears on the 1916 edition of the six-inch Ordnance Survey map, which confirms it was still legible as a feature in the landscape at that point, though it gives no indication of when it was first made. The elevated position, with open views in every direction, would have been a practical asset whether the enclosure was used for sheltering livestock, marking territory, or some domestic purpose now difficult to read.
