(07/02/1980) There are three hut circles and a fragment of enclosure walling in an area of rough pasture which has been partly stripped of stone for the construction of the Yellowmead newtakes. The fragment of enclosure walling at SX 56497402 is 28.0 metres long, 1.0 metres wide and from 0.5 metres to 1.0 metres high where it incorporates in situ boulders.
Surveyed at 1:10 000 on MSD and at 1:2500 (see illustration).

The monument includes two stone hut circles and a length of walling situated on a gentle west facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Walkham. A 1 metre wide orthostatic wall standing up to 0.8 metres high leads from the western stone hut circle in a westerly direction before turning south westward and then south. This wall probably represents the visible remains of an enclosure associated with the stone hut circles.
