The site comprises a substantial rectilinear or sub-rectangular enclosure defined by banks and ditches, characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement patterns in the upland regions of northern England. The monument forms part of a broader complex of prehistoric field systems and enclosures at Malham Lings, which represents sustained pastoral and agricultural use of this moorland landscape during later prehistory.
