The parish has a land area of 3,060 acres (1,238 ha). In the 2001 census 234 people lived in 102 households of whom 107 were economically active. The 2011 Census indicated a population of 213.

Hidden from the road by trees is the Anglican parish church, built from locally made brick in the nineteenth century. Walled to exclude rabbits the churchyard is a haven for wild flowers. Adjoining the church there is another old building, the Old Schoolhouse.

There is a cricket field where the village team plays and through which a road runs. This is also the venue for the Ebernoe Horn Fair held every 25 July.
