The site comprises the remains of a substantial agricultural settlement that formed part of the rural economy of Roman Wales, positioned within the territory administered from the nearby fort at Carmarthen. The visible archaeological features include defensive earthworks and structural platforms indicative of a prosperous farming community engaged in both subsistence and surplus production during the later Roman occupation.
