The round cairn represents Bronze Age burial activity, whilst the cairnfield and defended settlement reflect the later prehistoric or Iron Age use of the landscape, with evidence of agricultural organisation and fortified occupation. Medieval settlement activity in the same vicinity indicates continued use of this location through the historical period.
