Centred at NO 070 515 is a settlement of three hut circles ('A'-'C') within a contemporary field system marked by numerous stone clearance heaps and occasional lynchets and ruinous walls.

Hut 'A', c. 16.0m in diameter, is overlaid by a poorly preserved "longhouse" (21.0m E-W by 5.5m wide with bowed walls and rounded gables) which has totally destroyed the E arc of the hut.

'B' is a double-walled hut levelled into the W- facing slope in the same fashion as hut 'D' of NO 15 NE 10. It measures c. 10.5m internally and 20.5m N-S by 19.0m E-W between the centres of the outer wall. The entrance is in the S arc.

'C' is visible as a platform surrounded by traces of walling measuring 11.5m in diameter between its centres. A field wall joins the SE arc. Entrance not evident.

Surveyed at 1/10,000.
