Huts A, C and D are similar, varying from 8.0m to 10.5m in diameter within walls spread to 2.0m - 2.5m wide. B. is more massive, being 11.5m N-S by 10.5m E-W within a wall 0.5m high, which is spread to 2.5m thick widening to 3.5m at the entrance. The associated field system, occupying three hectares, comprises scattered stone clearance heaps only; no field plots are evident.
