The site comprises a moated enclosure together with associated platforms and additional enclosures, which represent the remains of a medieval farmstead or minor manorial complex. The moated element, typical of the medieval period, would have served both defensive and status-conferring functions, whilst the surrounding platforms and enclosures indicate the layout of domestic and agricultural buildings. The monument survives as earthwork remains and provides archaeological evidence of medieval rural settlement and land organisation in the region.
