The monument comprises an oval earthwork with a substantial surrounding bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in Wales, though the site may have origins in earlier prehistoric periods. Its defensive construction suggests a role as a refuge settlement or domestic stronghold during a period of territorial significance in the region.
