Basically the site is a rectangular space 500' by 420', set on an escarpment. Unfortunately, this simple picture is complicated by a modern lane (the old Roman Road), the ancient Parish Church and a small water treatment installation. So on the ground it is experienced as two separate, unconnected sites.
Considerable detail of the site is given in Archwilio and Coflein.
