This monument is a Bronze Age and later enclosed settlement located on Dartmoor near Trowlesworthy Warren, comprising a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial stone wall. The site includes associated archaeological features including a length of reave, which represents a Bronze Age field boundary system characteristic of Dartmoor's prehistoric landscape division. Two vermin traps, likely dating to the post-medieval period, indicate continued use of the landscape for pastoral management long after the Bronze Age. A pillow mound, a medieval or post-medieval earthwork typically associated with rabbit warrening, further demonstrates the site's multi-period use extending from prehistoric times through to the early modern era.
