(SX 5956 6682) Two of five hut circles within this enclosure; the others are at SX 5957 6678 and SX 5956 6678.
They lie within an enclosure forming part of an agglomeration including at least two distinct enclosed areas. Four of huts are conjoined, one is of simple plan, all are terraced into the hillslope and each is of rubble bank walling type.
The northern pair are conjoined and attached to the inner face of the enclosure boundary wall. The interior of the western hut is 2.1m in diameter and is defined by a 1m wide wall standing up to 0.3m high. The eastern hut survives as a 1.4m wide and 0.3m wide wall surrounding a 2m diameter internal area.
