That name alone suggests how this higher ground was perceived, and perhaps valued, over generations. The enclosure is defined not by walls or ditches in the conventional sense, but by scarps, the eroded edges of raised ground, measuring up to 1.35 metres in height along its north-western side and somewhat more modest to the south-west. A gap of nearly four metres in the west-north-west corner hints at an original entrance, while the north-eastern boundary has been absorbed into an existing field boundary, the kind of quiet reuse that makes these earthworks easy to overlook entirely.

What gives the site an added layer of interest is its proximity to a possible motte immediately to the south-east. A motte is the raised earthen mound that formed the centrepiece of an early medieval or Norman defensive structure, and the presence of one adjacent to an enclosure of this shape raises questions about whether the two features were ever related in function or period. The enclosure itself measures roughly 60 metres north-west to south-east and 56 metres north-east to south-west, dimensions substantial enough to suggest it served some organised purpose, whether agricultural, defensive, or otherwise. The poorly drained flat ground to the north and west, that 'water field', would have made this elevated platform all the more deliberate a choice for whoever first marked it out.
