The Red Brook divides before entering the Bala Brook around a raised strip of land. The northern half of the island was separated by a short wall across the narrowest point, Streams forming the other boundaries to a settlement site. The area is very overgrown but at least two huts are visible, a small one of 4.0 metres diameter against the north side of the reave and a much larger building of 8.0 metres diameter and an attached paddock near the centre.
