R. Hansford Worth's 1889 survey was the first detailed description of the wider Drizzlecombe complex. The "basin" itself is a hollowed-out Bronze Age cairn, roughly 22 metres across and originally 4 metres high, many of whose stones were later removed by warreners working the nearby Ditsworthy Warren.
