The monument comprises a series of hut circles, the remains of domestic structures characteristic of the Bronze Age period, along with an associated pound, a livestock enclosure formed by stone walling. These features represent evidence of agricultural and pastoral settlement on Dartmoor during the Bronze Age, when the moorland landscape supported a more substantial population than in later periods.
