The enclosed prehistoric settlement and three round cairns located 870 metres south-east of Horn's Cross is a Neolithic or Bronze Age site of archaeological importance in Devon. The monument comprises a substantial enclosed settlement area together with three round cairns, which represent burial or ceremonial structures typical of prehistoric ritual practice. The site's physical characteristics, including the earthwork enclosure and associated cairn monuments, suggest occupation and use during the later prehistoric period, likely spanning the Neolithic through Bronze Age phases. Such complexes reflect the settlement patterns and funerary practices of early farming communities and their successors in south-western Britain.
