It appears to have an internal fosse and outer bank. The size and morphology of the enclosure suggest it is a ring-barrow.

A Neolithic ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its internal fosse and outer bank suggest a ceremonial or funerary function, typical of burial monuments in this tradition.
