The monument consists of the remains of a motte which stands on a promontory overlooking the Avon Water.
The motte is approximately 2m high and roughly 30m across the top. Half of the motte to the SSE has been removed at some point in the last thirty years by persons unkown but the rest is in a stable condition.
The area to be scheduled includes the remains of the motte and its sides forming a D-shape. It measures approximately 40m WSW to ENE by 20m and is marked in red on the accompanying map.
