The monument comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single substantial bank and outer ditch, characteristic of the defensive earthwork architecture typical of south-west England during the later prehistoric period. Such rounds served as enclosed settlements and may have functioned as high-status residences or communal gathering places within their local landscapes.
