The settlement belongs to the medieval period, with evidence suggesting occupation during the twelfth to sixteenth centuries, though precise dating and continuity of settlement require further investigation. Such earthwork remains provide valuable archaeological evidence of rural settlement patterns and land use during the medieval period in southern England.
