The monument 300m north of Barton Pines Inn is a complex of prehistoric earthworks comprising two hilltop enclosures, a ditch system, and four bowl barrows. The hilltop enclosures and associated ditch system are Iron Age in date, representing settlement and defensive infrastructure typical of the later prehistoric period in Devon. The four bowl barrows are Bronze Age funerary monuments, indicating use of the site across a considerable span of prehistory. These earthworks collectively demonstrate sustained occupation and ritual activity on this elevated location during the later second and first millennia before the Common Era.
