The site comprises three separate bowl barrows, the characteristic mounded burial structures typical of Bronze Age communities in south-western England, dating to the period roughly between 2200 and 700 BC. Bowl barrows of this type served as burial monuments for individual high-status members of society, often containing inhumation or cremation burials alongside grave goods.
