Two hut circles are built into the northern wall of the enclosure. The walls and huts have been robbed of stone, leaving only faint, spread, turf-covered banks of up to 2.0 metres wide but less than 0.4 metres high, or shallow scarps and just a few large displaced stones. The two hut circles appear to pre-date the enclosure. Both comprise, spread circular, turf-covered stony banks which have been robbed of larger stone. Internal diameters are approximately 5.2 metres (west) and 7.0 metres (east). The eastern hut has an entrance opening on the southern arc, while that to the west has a similar breach on the eastern arc.

Two, probably Type 2 hut circles have an average internal diameter of 6.0 metres with walls 1.3 metres wide. Both are terraced into the hillside and predate the enclosure wall which links them.
