Three huts appear to be of Type 1 with internal diameters from 5.2 metres to 7.1 metres. Rubble walling, with a few inner facing slabs, is from 0.4 metre to 0.7 metres wide and 0.3 metres high save on the lower north-west where the build up is generally 0.5 metres. Some huts have clearly been partly stripped of stone for the nearby newtake wall.

The monument includes an unenclosed stone hut circle settlement situated on a gentle west facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Walkham. The settlement includes six stone hut circles arranged in an oval around a central area. The stone hut circles survive as banks each surrounding a circular or oval internal area of between 23 square metres and 88 square metres. The heights of the surrounding walls vary between 0.4 metres and 0.85 metres. Five of the huts have visible doorways and two are attached to each other by a short length of rubble walling.
