'A', set on a heathery crest, is about 6.0m in diameter within a low wall spread to 1.5m. The boulder-flanked entrance is in the south arc. 'C' is 7.0m E-W by 6.0m within a low peat and heather obscured wall spread to 2.0m.
'B', set into the slope, is of similar construction to 'C'; it measures 4.5m in diameter. Both huts are entered from the west.
'D' is 10.0m in diameter within a low, heather-covered wall 1.3m wide with intermittent facing stones visible. Th entrance is in the south arc.
A small number of isolated clearance heaps and a stretch of linear clearance mark contemporary cultivation on the broken ground around the huts. No plots are visible (but see NC95SW 6).
