Five hut circles are situated on a south-west facing slope within a modern enclosure, three short lengths of prehistoric walling also survive possibly the remains of prehistoric enclosures. The average diameter of the huts is 5.3 meters and the average wall thickness is 1.2 meters. They are mostly in poor condition; three of them are probably Type Two huts, the other two cannot be determined. Three of the huts have recognisable entrances on the south or south-west. No clearance has been carried out in the vicinity.
