The site comprises the earthwork remains of a defended enclosure typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in northern Britain, dating to approximately the first millennium BCE. The settlement's defensive characteristics, evidenced by its surviving banks and ditches, reflect the territorial and social organisation of Iron Age communities in this region. Such defended settlements served as focal points for agricultural communities and small-scale pastoral economies during the pre-Roman Iron Age period.
