The site comprises a moated enclosure characteristic of medieval manorial organisation, alongside associated settlement remains and field systems that reflect the agricultural economy of the medieval and early post-medieval periods. The park and garden remains visible at the location demonstrate subsequent phases of landscape modification during the post-medieval era, indicating the site's continued significance and changing use after the medieval settlement phase.
