The site commands extensive views across the borderland landscape and comprises a roughly oval enclosure defined by substantial ramparts and ditches, characteristic of the late pre-Roman Iron Age period. The monument represents an important example of defensive settlement and territorial control in the Welsh Marches region during the centuries immediately preceding the Roman conquest of Britain.
