One of a group of hut circles and fragments of enclosure walls set at the edge of a tall escarpment on the west side of the River Erme, north of Yadsworthy Waste. The site was surveyed whilst covered by dense summer bracken. The three huts (MDV125535-125537) comprise circular, turf-covered banks with some in situ stone visible, and approximate diameters of between 4 and 6 metres. Two other huts (the other is MDV125539) connected by fragments of enclosure walls were barely visible beneath the bracken, but their condition is believed to be poor.
