The site comprises the earthwork remains of a moat that originally enclosed a residential or defensive structure, typical of medieval manorial settlements and minor fortifications constructed during the medieval period.

The surviving earthworks at Sedgwick Castle represent an important archaeological record of medieval domestic and territorial organisation in the Sussex region.
