The monument consists of a length of Offa's Dyke and an irregularly shaped mound located just to the south-west of Brynbella and between two sections of Offa's Dyke.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of early medieval defensive organisation and settlement. It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits. A linear earthwork may be part of a larger cluster of monuments and their importance can further enhanced by their group value.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive. It measures approximately 560m in length.
