The outline of its enclosing earthen bank survives only as a faint swell in the ground, rising to around ten centimetres in places, and a single mature tree marks the southern corner. It is the kind of site that most people would walk across without registering as anything at all.

The 1837 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the place as a rectangular farmstead, with a possible house and at least one outbuilding visible within the enclosure. The buildings and the bank that once defined the farmstead's boundary have since been levelled, probably through generations of agricultural activity. The farmstead is thought to date to the eighteenth century, and a haggard, the enclosed yard where harvested crops were stored before threshing, once stood to the north-east. What gives the site a slightly longer historical shadow is its proximity to a motte and bailey roughly sixty metres to the north-north-west. A motte and bailey is a form of early medieval fortification, typically consisting of a raised earthen mound topped by a timber tower, connected to an enclosed courtyard at ground level. The coincidence of the two features on the same ridge, separated by only a short distance, suggests this elevated ground carried some strategic or practical value across very different periods.

The ridge itself offers good views in all directions, which likely accounts for its repeated use. The farmstead, modest and now largely erased, sits in that quiet category of sites that appear significant mainly because of what surrounds them.
