NB: There is a considerable similarity of description between these sites and those of the cairn records to the east (MDV2418 and MDV42216). However, both pairs were visited by the same Ordnance Survey investigator on the same day, and given different numbers.

They are built of earth and stone and are 5 metres and 4.5 metres in diameter with walls 1 metre in thickness and 0.5 metres in height and entrances in the west and north-west respectively. The larger, eastern hut circle has traces of a bank leading from its north-east side and curving back towards the other hut.
