There are two hut-circles and a cairn situated within a scatter of small cairns and among short stretches of bank on the SW flank of Carn Mor. The N hut-circle (USN93 3) measures 12.2m from NW to SE by 11.3m transversely within a bank spread to 1.8m in thickness and 0.3m in height. The position of the entrance is not clear and the NE arc of bank has been robbed out.
The S hut-circle (USN93 1) measures 6.5m in diameter within a bank spread to 1.8m in thickness and 0.3m in height. The entrance is on the E and has been protected by baffle walls extending for about 3m from both sides of the entrance.
What may be a burial cairn (USN93 2) is situated on a slight terrace to the SE of USN93 3. It measures 7.5m in diameter and 0.7m in height. There are two kerb-stones on the E and one on the NW. Two loose slabs visible within a hollow at the centre of the cairn may have formed part of a cist.
The small cairns measure up to 5m in diameter and 0.4m in height and, although there are short lengths of bank, no plots were visible.
