The monument comprises a substantial reave, a substantial linear boundary constructed of stone, running parallel to the better-known Roughtor parallel reave, together with two associated field enclosures. The reave and enclosures represent elements of the extensive prehistoric agricultural landscape that characterises Bodmin Moor, dating to the later Bronze Age period when the moor was more intensively settled and exploited.
