The monument consists of a stone cist, a rectangular burial chamber constructed from stone slabs, which represents a common funerary practice during the Bronze Age period. The site's location on Whitehorse Hill places it within a landscape rich in prehistoric remains, typical of Dartmoor and the surrounding upland regions where such burial structures are frequently encountered.
