Two buildings (ROG95 580-1) and an enclosure (ROG95 579) are disposed along the top of a low heather- and grass-covered ridge at the mouth of a narrow valley draining into the Torbreck Burn. The two buildings are similar on plan, measuring 13m by 2.7m (ROG95 580, NC 7019 0568) and 11m by 2.4m (ROG95 581, NC 7010 0571) internally with a bedneuk extending from the side opposite the entrance, which lies on the S or SSE side.
The enclosure (ROG95 579, NC 7021 0568), which is D-shaped, is levelled into the trailing end of ridge to E of the buildings and measures 10.2m from NNE to SSW by 5.5m transversely within a boulder-faced bank 1.1m in thickness and 0.5m in height. The chord of the enclosure, which lies on the WNW, may be secondary, cutting across the interior of what may have been a roughly circular enclosure, possibly a hut-circle.
