The site lies approximately 340 metres north-west of Hoaroak Farm and represents an important example of prehistoric stone alignment or gathering place, though its precise original configuration and ritual function remain subject to archaeological interpretation. Such stone settings across Exmoor are characteristic of upland monuments dating to the second and third millennia before the present, reflecting sustained human activity and landscape management during prehistory.
