This unusual site, known as The Court, is seen to best effect on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large scale mapping published in 1870.  This shows a rectilinear enclosure occupying the north and west half of OS Field no. 1107, bounded by a wide ditch to the south, east and north.  To the west and north-west, the site is defined by the field boundary and a small stream or drainage channel which follows the line of the hedge.  The enclosed area measured about 100 by 110m, with a small, rectilinear extension about 20 by 30 m in the south-west corner.  Near the south side of the enclosure, the OS also depicts a square-topped mound about 20 m across.  All features are now substantially ploughed down and best seen on aerial photographs or LiDAR.


The OS names the site 'The Court' using the standard pre-Norman antiquities script, though no dating evidence or artefacts are known. 


It has been speculated that the site was some kind of fortification, but its location would tend to contradict the idea that it served a defensive purpose.  The site lies in a hollow and is overlooked on all sides except to the NNW, in which direction the hollow develops into a more deeply-cut drainage feature which eventually accommodates a stream issuing onto Cain's Strand 900 m away.
