The enclosure measures roughly 28 metres across, and what gives it an unusual character is not just its age but the way the modern world has quietly altered it. The fosse, a defensive ditch encircling the bank, has been deepened on its north-east to southern arc and pressed into service as a field drainage channel, blurring the line between ancient monument and working farmland. That section of ditch does not appear on the most recent Ordnance Survey six-inch mapping, which suggests the conversion is relatively recent, a small act of agricultural pragmatism imposed on something that had likely stood largely undisturbed for centuries.

The earthwork itself is defined by a substantial bank: over five metres wide and rising nearly four metres on its exterior face, though only about 0.7 metres on the interior side. That asymmetry is characteristic of enclosures of this type, where the spoil thrown inward from digging the fosse builds up a formidable outer profile while leaving the enclosed ground relatively level. A less clearly defined fosse survives to the south and south-west, though dense vegetation has largely concealed it. The interior is similarly overgrown and, for the most part, impenetrable. What the site offers instead of easy access is context: it is one of at least three conjoined enclosures in this immediate area, linked to a further enclosure to the north-north-east and another to the south-east. Clusters like this can suggest a settlement of some complexity, perhaps a farmstead with associated stock enclosures, though without excavation that remains an open question. The views the site commands to the north-west and north-east hint at why this particular slope was chosen.
