Two huts and a pen lie at the rear of a grassy terrace overlooking the bay at Port Mor. Traces of lazy-bed cultivation are also visible on the terrace, which is effectively enclosed by a rubble wall linking the outcrops along its landward side. The southern hut, which contains two cells, is built against the foot of a low crag at the S end of the terrace and measures 4.6m from NW to SE by 2m transversely over a tumbled rubble wall. The second hut lies 20m to the N and has been set into a grassy slope. It measures 4m by 2.6m overall and its interior is largely filled with rubble. The pen is built against the base of a crag forming the side of a gully at the N end of the terrace, and lies at the SW end of a stretch of rubble wall that cuts across the gully. It measures 2.8m by 2.3m over a ruinous boulder wall.
