This site is now partly afforested.
'A' appears no different to hut circles elsewhere despite Mrs Stewart's uncertainty and Feachem's opinion that it is a cremation cemetery. (Information from R W Feachem 1974) It has been levelled into a slight SW-facing slope and measures 13.0m between the centre of a wall spread to 2.5m. The entrance in the SW has been mutilated by the excavation. 'B' is a hut circle, truncated in the S by a quarry, and planted with trees. It measures c. 12.5m in diameter between the centres of a wall of indeterminate width. The entrance is not visible.
'C' is very indefinite. If it is a hut circle, it has been oval with measurements of 12.0m N-S by 9.5m between ill-defined wall centres. The rectangular structure is a "long-house" measuring 29.0m NW-SE by 6.5m between wall centres. It has an annexe attached in the NW.
Surveyed at 1:10,000.
