The site comprises a moated enclosure which represents the homestead of a grange, a dependent agricultural property typically managed on behalf of a monastery or major landowner during the medieval period. The moat, which survives as an earthwork feature, would originally have enclosed the principal buildings and working areas of the holding. The site is likely to date from the medieval period, though its precise founding date and duration of occupation remain subjects for further archaeological investigation.
