The site comprises an enclosed settlement area alongside adjacent cultivation remains, indicating a farming community with organised agricultural land-use during the later prehistoric or Romano-British period. The enclosed character of the settlement suggests a degree of nucleation and possibly defensive or stock-control considerations typical of settlements from this transitional period in the Shropshire landscape. The presence of cultivation remains adjacent to the settlement indicates the integrated relationship between domestic occupation and agricultural exploitation characteristic of Iron Age and Romano-British rural communities.
