The site comprises a cluster of circular stone structures characteristic of domestic occupation during the later Bronze Age, likely dating to the second millennium BCE. The settlement's partial enclosure suggests organised settlement planning typical of Dartmoor's prehistoric communities, with the stone construction providing evidence of permanent or semi-permanent habitation in this upland region.
