A Bronze Age enclosed hut circle settlement with outlying hut circles. An enclosed settlement of 0.6 hectares. The walling of the enclosures averages 2.0 metres wide and 0.6 metres high. All the huts are of type 1 and in poor condition with levelled interiors and most have southern entrances and their internal diameters vary from 2.0 metres to 4.0 metres, with walling averaging 1.6 metre wide and 0.6 metres high. The huts within the enclosure are integrated with the walling and the majority appear to have preceded the enclosures. Two yards at SX 63566425 and SX 63616430 are attached to the enclosure.
