The monument consists of an angular fortification designed to command approaches to the locality and reflects the military engineering strategies employed by one of the conflict's opposing forces. Its physical form comprises raised ramparts and associated ditches characteristic of the temporary field fortifications hastily constructed during the 1640s campaigns across the Midlands. The site remains a valuable archaeological record of Civil War military infrastructure and the strategic importance of Nottinghamshire during this period of national conflict.
