A possible hut circle approximately 3.8m in diameter is identifiable as at least seven large stone settings in a rough circular arrangement, incorporated into the northern side of an enclosure on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2016. The stones are probably the spread remains of the hut wall. A bank spur extending north-east from the enclosure for circa 6.5m might be the only visible earthwork remains of the hut circle.
Two similar circular stone settings are visible in the southern edge of the enclosure.
