The monument comprises an earthwork enclosure of broadly circular plan, with its form suggesting Iron Age date, though prehistoric enclosures of this type could have been constructed and used across several centuries. The site's name derives from its distinctive crescent or half-moon shaped configuration, which remains visible in the surviving earthwork. Such enclosed sites typically served defensive, administrative, or ceremonial functions within prehistoric settlement patterns, though the specific use of Half Moon Camp remains subject to archaeological interpretation.
