The Chesters was once a large fort, but has now largely been ploughed away.
Oval-shaped and aligned approximately north-east to south-west, it enclosed an area of around 150m by 120m.
Situated on flat ground, the fort was surrounded by two ramparts, outside which was a ditch.
Only small sections survive at the north-west and south-east corners, with most of the features having been obliterated by the plough over the years.
