The site preserves ridge and furrow cultivation patterns and settlement features typical of nucleated medieval agricultural communities, indicating occupation and exploitation of the landscape during the medieval period. The earthworks survive as low banks and ditches visible in the present-day topography, providing archaeological evidence of the settlement's layout and the farming practices of its inhabitants.
