The monument consists of an earthen mound typical of burial cairns constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as communal or individual burial sites across the upland regions of northern England.

As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practices in the Yorkshire Dales region.
