This monument is of national importance as part of an area of much Bronze Age activity, mainly indicated by cairns, extending from Cairnscarrow along the Lingdowey Burn. It is also of importance in its own right because it shows an association of a domestic structure with clearance cairns, offering an opportunity, through excavation, to relate the development of domestic construction to the contemporary agricultural economy of the area.
