The monument consists of a roughly circular or oval defensive earthwork defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts of southern England. The enclosure occupies a commanding position on elevated terrain, a siting strategy typical of defensive settlements from the Late Bronze Age or Iron Age period.
