The site comprises a defended enclosure with an associated souterrain, a characteristic form of underground stone-built structure typical of Iron Age communities in eastern Scotland.

The monument is significant as evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and subsistence strategies in the Lothian region during the centuries immediately preceding Roman contact.
