The National Monuments Service's description
Square-shaped moated site (dims. 64m N-S; 44m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.2m) and external waterlogged outer fosse (Top Wth 4m; ext. D 0.3m) which possible fish-pond (TS049-027001-) in the N corner. This moated site with internal division (possible fish-pond) is depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. The interior of the moated site is much drier than that of the internal enclosure, which with its unsual arrangements of banks and fosses would appear to keep water within this smaller internal enclosure. According to local knowledge this enclosure has several springs which provide a wet interior all year around which would be suitable for a fish-pond.
