The site consists of a mounded earthwork characteristic of cairn construction from the second millennium BCE, representing a funerary practice common across the upland regions of south-western England during this period. Such monuments typically contained cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods, though specific details of this cairn's contents and precise dimensions are not extensively documented in readily accessible scholarly sources.
