That is part of what makes it curious: its existence is officially classified as a potential site identified from the air, meaning the full picture of what it represents remains open. The enclosure is substantial, stretching roughly 160 metres east to west and 120 metres north to south, and its boundary takes the form of a mound wall, a low raised earthen bank rather than a cut ditch or stone course.

What the enclosure lacks in geometric tidiness it makes up for in responsiveness to its setting. The northern half curves in a broad arc, as enclosures of early medieval date often do, while the southern half bends to follow the natural contours of the ridge rather than imposing a regular shape on the ground. Somewhere within that boundary, just north of centre, a possible house site has been identified. A modern field wall has been built directly along the line of the enclosure from its southern to its western side, a practical reuse of an older boundary that has, over generations, both preserved and partly obscured the original feature. Thirty metres to the west, a large cairn, that is a mound of stones typically associated with prehistoric burial, overlooks the whole arrangement from a slightly higher vantage point. About 100 metres to the east, a smaller enclosure occupies a separate plot in the same ridge landscape. Whether the cairn, the large enclosure, and the smaller one were ever related in function or period is not established, but their proximity on this elevated ground gives the cluster a sense of accumulated significance across different eras.
