The monument consists of a levelled platform with associated cairn material, typical of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the upland regions of south-west England. Such platform cairns are thought to represent either domestic occupation sites or ritual platforms dating to the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 800 BCE.
