The site comprises the earthwork remains of a medieval settlement together with associated open field cultivation patterns, representing the agricultural and domestic landscape of the medieval period. The monument preserves evidence of the organisation and layout of medieval rural life, including the arrangement of tofts and crofts characteristic of planned or semi-planned settlements of this era.
