Situated on a SE-facing hill slope is a settlement of three hut circles ('A' - 'C') all with entrances in the SE arc. 'A' and 'B' are broadly similar being 8.5m and 9m in diameter respectively within a low earth and stone wall widening slightly at the entrance. A low stone walled enclosure 35m by 30m joins hut 'A's north arc. 'C' is 5m in diameter within a more clearly defined wall up to 0.3m in height. There is no evidence of cleared ground in the vicinity.
Revised at 1/10,000. Visited by OS (J B) 18 October 1976.
