The National Monuments Service's description
Beneath a multi-period funerary complex consisting of a bowl-barrow (TS058-023003-), a standing stone (TS058-023004-), two ditch-barrows (TS058-023005- and TS058-023007-) and a ring-barrow (TS058-023006-), all contained within a circular enclosure (TS058-023002-). Pottery discovered during archaeological excavation during 1973-1976 indicates that the earliest phase of activity consisted of a small Neolithic camp. Beaker pottery associated with funerary and domestic activity indicates that the habitation site was re-used in the Early Bronze Age prior to the construction of the central bowl-barrow (TS058-023003-).
