Visited on 16th November 1994. The huts lie in a distinct line and although not apparently linked by a boundary, one may have once existed and now survives as a buried feature. The huts are of simple plan and conjoined type and survive as stone and earth banks surrounding a circular internal area.
Hut circle 'd' at SX55737637. Interior measures 5.5 metres in diameter and is surrounded by a 1.4 metres wide coursed wall with an average height of 0.7 metres. This wall is composed of large granite slabs which have been laid flat and it stands up to 1.3 metres high. The doorway faces south, is flanked on the west by slabs and the passageway is partly blocked by the collapse of the eastern door jamb.
