Two large hut circles were incorporated into the wall on the NW side (SX 63635 61251; SX 63628 61223). Both have internal diameters of approximately 9m and comprise fragmented circles of stone within spread, turf-covered stone banks of up to 4m wide and 0.4m high. Many of the stones appear in situ but many others are absent. Both huts had entrances on the southern arc. A third hut circle is incorporated into the eastern side of the main enclosure and the two annexes (SX 63686 61225). The turf-covered walls are now spread but a few boulders of the structure survive, some in situ, though most are displaced, giving an internal diameter of 6.7m. The entrance opening is on the SE arc where two adjoining enclosures form a short corridor into the hut. A smaller, very ruinous hut circle on the interior of the enclosure is connected to the eastern wall by a short, spread stony bank (SX 63659 61194). The spread walls of the hut contain some displaced stone and the interior diameter would have been approximately 5.5m. Just to the south a fragmented semi-circle of boulders (SX 63658 61177) represents all that remains of a free-standing hut circle with a diameter of approximately 5.4m. On the western exterior of the enclosure wall, a turf-covered spread wall with six small exposed stones (SX 63611 61205) was also a hut circle though very little survives.

This unenclosed stone hut settlement, comprising thirty-four hut circles and six enclosures, lies on a gentle slope north-east of Yadsworthy. The archaeological features lie on either side of a modern track. Fifteen of the huts are attached to enclosures or banks, four are in two attached pairs, the rest are detached and they vary in size and construction, remaining up to a metre high and 12 metres in diameter with orthostatic walling and entrances. The banks also include orthostats, remaining over a metre in height in some places.

One of a large number of enclosures and hut circles. Enclosure 'A' at SX 63656119 is an irregular enclosure which contains six Type 2 hut circles, average internal diameter 6.0 metres, walls 1.4 metre wide and mostly in fair condition. These are cut back, into the hillside, to a depth of 1.5 metres. Two huts have south facing entrances. Four of the huts are integral with the enclosure wall, the remainder freestanding.
