The site comprises an Iron Age settlement together with a cursus, a ritual or territorial earthwork characteristic of Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, suggesting multiple phases of occupation and use across prehistoric times. The monument is primarily visible as cropmarks revealed in aerial surveys, which have defined the extent and character of both the settlement structures and the linear cursus feature.
