The site, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM GM502) by Cadw, represents military infrastructure of the Roman period constructed during the campaigns of consolidation and occupation in Wales. The camp's earthwork defences remain visible as ditches and banks that define its rectangular plan, characteristic of Roman military engineering of the first and second centuries AD.
