The site comprises two distinct burial structures of different periods: a long barrow dating to the Neolithic period, representing one of the earlier forms of communal burial architecture in Britain, and a bowl barrow of Bronze Age date, a circular mound typical of later prehistoric funerary practice. The monument testifies to the extended use of this location for burial purposes across several millennia of prehistory.
