The monument, which falls into eight areas, includes two partially enclosed stone hut circle settlements and a round cairn situated on the eastern slope of Oke Tor overlooking the valley of the River Taw. The northern settlement survives as two enclosures and four stone hut circles. The northern enclosure links two huts, whilst the southern enclosure has one hut. The fourth hut lies between the two enclosures. A length of broadly contemporary reave leads towards the northern enclosure.
