The monument includes the remains of a dispersed medieval settlement situated on a chalk hill which forms part of the Kent Downs, around 2.25km north east of Charing. The settlement, which survives in the form of earthworks and associated below ground remains, is enclosed by an irregular defensive circuit. This is visible as a bank up to 4m wide and 1m high, surrounded by a ditch up to 5m wide and 0.5m deep. Investigations, including a detailed survey carried out in 1988, indicate that the focus of the settlement lies in the western sector of the monument. Part excavation in 1971 revealed the flint footings of an `L'-shaped building ranged around the north eastern and south eastern sides of a roughly square yard. The analysis of pottery fragments found during the excavation suggests that the building was in use during the 13th and early 14th centuries. Leading into the courtyard from the north west is a hollow way. Surrounding the courtyard is a group of roughly rectangular earthworks representing further buildings, small enclosed fields and associated features, some of which extend beyond the northern boundary of the main enclosure. Historical records suggest that the monument is the manorial centre of Eversley, one of several operating within the larger manor of Charing during the 13th and 14th centuries. The medieval earthworks have been partly disturbed by later, post-medieval and modern activities, including the excavation of several dene holes for chalk extraction. A small part of the eastern edge of the medieval defensive ditch has been damaged by the installation of a modern cesspit
