the monument includes an enclosed area of moorland to the south of Halfway Wall which contains the remains of a medieval farmhouse, additional structures and associated enclosures. In the south-west corner of the enclosed area is a D-shaped double enclosure reporesented by a low earthwork 15 metres across the interior and perhaps cut by the enclosure bank at a later date. Traces of ridge and furrow cultivation survive on its easternside.
