The site comprises two distinct phases of prehistoric activity: a causewayed enclosure of Neolithic date and a bowl barrow of Bronze Age construction, representing successive periods of ritual and burial use. The causewayed enclosure, characteristic of the earlier Neolithic period, consists of interrupted ditches that define an enclosed space, whilst the bowl barrow represents the later Bronze Age tradition of monumental burial construction.
