Site visited on 9th April 1995. Hut circles at SX57136426. Two unenclosed hut circles survive as banks of earth and stone surrounding a circular internal area and are of simple plan with rubble bank walling. The southern hut survives as a 1.4 metre wide and 0.7 metre high wall surrounding a 3.4 metre diameter interior. A 1.8 metre wide gap in the hut wall faces north-east and may represent a doorway. The interior of the northern hut is 4.4 metres in diameter with a 1.6 metre wide wall standing to 0.4 metres high.
