The monument comprises a rectangular platform measuring 46m NE/SW by 51m NW/SE surrounded by a flat bottomed moat containing a stream on three sides, with a counterscarp bank outside. Irregularities and boulders on the ground inside the ditch suggests the presence of walls.

It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of intact archaeological deposits and structural evidence.
