Centred on NC 728 550 in shelving ground of westerly aspect is a settlement of 3 hut circles (A-C) in association with a minor field system. The huts, generally reduced and heather covered, are oval and measure respectively 'A' to 'C', 10.0m by 9.5m 11.5m by 9.5m and 9.0m by 6.5m; entrances are from either the south or south east quarter and in each case on the line of the longer axis.

The minor field system comprises heaps of stone clearance scattered along the slopes and dry rises, and occasional banks of linear stone clearances that in part delimit the extent; cultivation plots are not discernible.
