The monument consists of a moat, a water-filled ditch that formerly enclosed a residential or manorial enclosure, typical of the medieval period when such features were constructed around settlements of social importance. The site represents a common form of medieval settlement fortification in the English Midlands, though its precise date of construction and the identity of its original occupants remain matters of archaeological record. The earthwork survives as an important example of medieval domestic architecture and land use in the region.
