The monument forms part of a pair of round barrows situated on this ridge, representing funerary structures typical of the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age periods. Bowl barrows such as this are characterised by a circular mound of earth or stone, often containing a central burial deposit, and their presence on elevated terrain reflects the importance of such landscape positions in prehistoric burial practice.
