The monument includes settlement remains, thought to be of Iron Age and Romano-British date, and two Bronze Age bowl barrows on Blandford Race Down, 450m south east of Telegraph Clump. The site, surveyed by Heywood Sumner in 1912, comprises a nucleated occupation area of about 3.25ha. This is characterised by low earthworks, now much disturbed, including a number of sunken platforms which probably represent the sites of former buildings.
