A probably naturally occurring outcrop is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and is identifiable on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019 as an oval or triangular mound projecting from the south-facing slopes overlooking the Sheepham Brook. It is possible that the outcrop has been enhanced by human activity, but no convincing evidence of this was identified from the sources available to the survey.
The outcrop was possibly bounded to the north-west and south-east by ditched field boundaries, recorded as MDV128385 and MDV128474.
The outcrop could previously have been identified as a former fortification, resulting in the castle field names in this and the adjacent plot (MDV45837).
