The huts are terraced with average internal diameters of 5.5m, and walls about 1.5m thick. Most are in poor condition, some faced with large boulders; entrances are in the south east and one has a possible internal dividing wall. The huts are integrated with the cross walls of the parallel reave system (SX 56 SE 92).
